any  time  thereafter,  the  Board  of  Trustees  may  contract  with  some 
competent  person  or  persons  according  to  such  order,  and  when  finished 
the  cost  of  the  same  shall  to  so  plank,  pave,  macadamize  or  improve

lien  upon  the  franchise,  tracks,  roadway  and  rolling  stock  of  such  rail- 
way prior  to  all  claims  and  liens  of  every  kind  whatsoever  and  if  the

thereby.  And  no  alterations  or  repairs  on  such  railway  exceeding  in 
cost  the  sum  of  Twenty-Five  Dollars,  or  requiring  more  than  twenty-

vided, further,  that  all  curves  made  in  the  construction  of  this  road 
shall  be  laid  out  and  designated  by  the  City  Surveyor  of  Pasadena,  at

the  top  of  the  rail  so  as  to  diminish  as  much  as  possible  the  obstruction 
to  the  street  in  such  places  as  this  Board  may  direct,  but  where  flat

Code  of  Civil  Procedure  of  the  State  of  California,  with  such  amend- 
ments thereto  as  may  be  made.  But  the  roadway  and  tracks  of  the 
owner  or  owners  of  one  railway  may  be  used  by  the  owner  or  owners  of 
any  other  railroad,  with  the  permission  of  the  Board  ol  Trustees  first 
had  and  obtained  and  without  judicial  proceedings,  and  upon  paying  a 
proper  proportion  of  the  cost  and  maintenance  of  the  said  roadway  and

in  whatever  manner  said  Board  of  Trustees  or  its  successors  shall 
order  said  flumes  or  culverts  to  be  placed.

amendments  thereto  as  may  be  made.  But  the  roadway  and  tracks  of 
the  owner  or  owners  of  one  railway  may  be  used  by  the  owner  or 
owners  of  any  other  railroad,  with  the  permission  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees  first  had  and  obtained,  and  without  judicial  proceedings, 
and  upon  paying  a  proper  proportion  of  the  cost  and  maintenance  of 
the  said  roadway  and  track,  which  property  shall  be  assessed  by  three

Provided,  further,  that  the  city  reserves  the  right  to  grade,  sewer, 
macadamize,  pave,  construct  zanjas,  alter  or  repair  all  or  either  of  said 
highways  or  any  part  thereof,  and  to  pipe  or  to  authorize  the  piping 
of  the  same  for  water,  gas  or  other  purposes,  such  work  to  be  done 
with  as  little  injury  as  possible  to  said  railroad,  but  when  it  shall  be 
necessary  the  owner  of  said  road  must  shift  the  rails  so  as  to  avoid 
the  obstruction  made  thereby. 

Provided,  further,  that  the  rate  of  fare  for  passengers  on  said  rail- 
road shall  never  exceed  ten  cents  for  one  fare,  for  any  distance  along

thereafter  the  cost  of  alterations,  repairs  or  other  necessary  improve- 
ments shall  be  paid  in  the  same  proportion. 

Provided,  further,  that  said  builder  of  said  road  shall  provide  said 
railroad  with  all  the  proper  and  necessary  flumes  and  culverts  for  the 
passage  of  water  under  the  said  track  from  the  lands  higher  than  said

obstruction  made  thereby. 

Provided,  further,  that  the  rate  of  fare  for  passengers  on  said

franchise,  and  the  Board  of  Trustees  may  regulate  the  schedule  of  time 
and  designate  the  number  of  trips  to  be  made  each  day;  and  if  at  any 
time  the  said  road  or  any  portion  thereof  shall  be  unused  as  a  street

privilges  hereby  granted  are  granted  on  each  and  all  of  the  conditions 
and  provisions  herein  contained  and  reserved. 

And  if  the  said  grantee,  his  successors  in  interest  and  assigns,

forfeited,  the  owners  thereof  shall  be  entitled  to  the  preference  for  a 
renewal  thereof  if  they  will  accept  the  same  on  terms  like  and  equal  to 
the  terms  accepted  by  any  competitor  demanding  such  franchise.

the  said  road  may  be  constructed  between  the  rails,  and  for  two  feet 
on  each  side  thereof,  with  such  materials,  at  such  time,  and  in  such 
manner  as  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  City  of  Pasadena,  or  that  body, 
person  or  persons  who  may  by.  operation  of  law  succeed  to  the  rights, 
duties  or  privileges  of  the  said  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  City  of  Pasa- 
dena, may  determine,  and  shall  keep  the  same  and  all  portions  of  the 
streets  over  which  any  part  of  said  track  may  be  constructed,  con- 
stantly in  repair,  flush  with  the  street  and  provided  with  good  cross-

tees or  successors  or  assigns  to  plank,  pave  or  otherwise  improve  such 
roadway,  within  the  limits  above  mentioned,  in  the  same  manner  as 
the  other  part  or  parts  of  the  streets  used  at  the  time  of  construction, 
or  as  ordered  at  any  time  thereafter,  the  Board  of  Trustees  may  con- 
tract with  some  competent  person  or  persons  to  so  plank,  pave,  macad- 
amize or  improve  such  roadway  and  street  according  to  such  order, 
and  when  finished  the  cost  of  the  same  shall  be  charged  against  such 
grantee  or  grantees,  successors  or  assigns,  to  be  paid  by  them,  and  the 
same  shall  be  the  first  lien  upon  the  franchise,  tracks,  roadway  and 
rolling  stock  of  such  railway  prior  to  all  claims  and  liens  of  every  kind 
whatsoever;  and  if  the  same  be  not  paid  within  sixty  days  after  the

fencing  enclosing  the  same,  must  be  so  lighted  by  night  as  to  enable

thereby.  And  no  alterations  or  repairs  on  such  railway  exceeding  in 
cost  the  sum  of  twenty-five  dollars,  or  requiring  more  than  twenty-four 
hours  to  complete,  that  will  in  any  way  impede  or  obstruct  travel  upon 
the  streets,  shall  be  made  without  the  consent  of  the  Board  of  Trustees

And  provided  that  the  track  shall  not  be  less  than  three  and  one- 
half  feet  nor  more  than  five  feet  wide  between  the  rails,  and  there 
shall  be  a  space  between  the  main  track  and  the  side-tracks  or  turn-

danger;  provided,  further,  that  all  curves  made  in  the  construction  of 
this  road  shall  be  laid  out  and  designated  by  the  city  surveyor  of  Pasa-

and  two  inches  thick,  laid  against  the  rail  and  flush  with  the  street  and 
with  the  top  of  the  rail,  so  as  to  diminish  as  much  as  possible  the  ob- 
struction to  the  street  in  places  as  the  Board  may  direct;  but  when  flat 

25 


rails  are  used,  such  as  in  the  opinion  of  this  Board  do  not  require  such 
plank  guard,  then  such  guard  need  not  be  used. 

Provided,  further,  that  the  laying  of  said  track  shall  in  all  cases 
conform  to  the  established  grade  whenever  any  part  of  said  highways 
has  been  or  shall  be  graded  to  an  established  grade,  and  in  other  cases 
to  the  actual  grade,  and  whenever  any  such  grade  shall  be  changed  or 
altered,  the  bed  of  the  road  and  the  tracks  shall  be  made  to  conform 
therewith;  and  provided,  also,  that  whenever  this  road  shall  intersect 
or  be  intersected  by  any  other  track,  neither  of  said  intersecting  roads 
shall  occupy  or  use  a  track  of  the  other  for  a  distance  of  more  than 
five  blocks,  unless  by  order  of  this  Board  or  its  successors  as  hereinaf- 
ter stated,  and  if  the  owners  of  such  intersecting  tracks  shall  not  agree 
upon  the  compensation  to  be  paid  to  the  owner  for  the  use  of  a  track 
the  same  may  be  determined  as  provided  in  Title  VII,  Part  III,  of  the 
Code  of  Civil  Procedure  of  the  State  of  California,  with  such  amend- 
ments thereto  as  may  be  made.  But  the  roadway  and  tracks  of  the 
owner  or  owners  of  any  one  railway  may  be  used  by  the  owner  or 
owners  of  any  other  railroad,  with  the  permission  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees  first  had  and  obtained  and  without  judicial  proceedings,  and 
upon  paying  a  proper  proportion  of  the  cost  and  maintenance  of  said 
roadway  and  track,  which  property  shall  be  assessed  by  three  disinter- 
ested persons  as  appraisers,  to  be  appointed  by  the  Board  of  Trustees, 
and  thereafter  the  cost  of  alterations,  repairs  or  other  necessary  im- 
provements shall  be  paid  in  the  same  proportion. 

Provided,  further,  that  said  builder  of  said  road  shall  provide  said 
railroad  with  all  the  proper  and  necessary  flumes  and  culverts  for  the 
passage  of  water  under  the  said  track  from  the  lands  higher  than  said 
track  or  roadbed  are  or  are  required  to  be,  whenever  and  wherever  and 
in  whatever  manner  said  Board  of  Trustees  or  its  successors  shall  or- 
der said  flumes  or  culverts  to  be  placed. 

Provided,  further,  that  the  city  reserves  the  right  to  grade,  sewer, 
macadamize,  pave,  construct  zanjas,  alter  or  repair  all  or  either  of  said 
highways  or  any  part  thereof,  and  to  pipe  or  to  authorize  the  piping  of 
the  same  for  water,  gas,  or  other  purposes,  such  work  to  be  done  with 
as  little  injury  as  possible  to  said  railroad,  but  when  it  shall  be  neces- 
sary the  owner  of  said  road  must  shift  the  rails  so  as  to  avoid  the  ob- 
struction made  thereby. 

Provided,  further,  that  the  rate  of  fare  for  the  passengers  on  said 
railroad  shall  never  exceed  ten  cents  for  one  fare,  for  any  distance 
along  said  road. 

Provided,  further,  and  upon  condition  that  not  less  than  four  com- 
plete trips  shall  be  made  each  day  during  the  continuance  of  this  fran- 
chise, and  the  Board  of  Trustees  may  regulate  the  schedule  of  time  and

the  same  for  water,  gas,  or  other  purposes,  such  work  to  be  done  with 
as  little  injury  as  possible  to  said  railroad,  but  when  it  shall  be  neces-

The  Board  of  Trustees  hereby  reserves  the  right  to  establish  a 
rate  of  fare  on  said  road  not  exceeding  ten  cents  or  less  than  five  cents,

The  Board  of  Trustees  may  require  tickets  for  passage  on  one  rail- 
way to  be  accepted  on  any  railway  in  the  city,  in  which  case  each  rail- 
way shall  account  to  each  other  railway  for  the  tickets  of  such  railway 
that  may  have  been  used  on  such  other  railway. 

The  owner  or  owners  of  this  franchise  shall  pay  to  the  City  of 
Pasadena  such  license  on  each  car  as  may  be  ordained.  The  rights 
and  privileges  hereby  granted  are  granted  on  each  and  all  of  the  condi-

When  the  time  of  this  franchise  expires,  if  it  has  not  been  forfeited, 
the  owners  thereof  shall  be  entitled  to  the  preference  for  a  renewal 
thereof  if  they  will  accept  the  same  on  terms  like  and  equal  to  the 
terms  accepted  by  any  competitor  demanding  such  franchise.

five  (5)  blocks,  unless  by  order  of  this  Board  or  its  successors  as  here- 
inafter stated,  and  if  the  owners  of  such  intersecting  tracks  shall  not 
agree  upon  the  compensation  to  be  paid  to  the  owner  for  the  use  of  a 
track  the  same  may  be  determined  as  provided  in  Title  VII,  Part  III,  of 
the  Code  of  Civil  Procedure  of  the  State  of  California  with  such

paid  in  the  same  proportion. 

Provided,  further,  that  said  builder  of  saiu  road  shall  provide  said

Provided,  further,  that  the  city  reserves  the  right  to  grade,  sewer, 
macadamize,  pave,  construct  zanjas,  alter  or  repair  all  or  either  of  said 
highways  or  any  part  thereof,  and  to  pipe  or  authorize  the  piping  of 
the  same  for  water,  gas,  or  other  purposes,  such  work  to  be  done  with 
as  little  injury  as  possible  to  said  railroad,  but  when  it  shall  be  neces- 
sary the  owner  of  said  road  must  shift  the  rails  so  as  to  avoid  the  ob- 
struction made  thereby. 

Provided,  further,  that  the  rate  of  fare  for  the  passage  of  said  rail-

Provided,  further,  and  upon  condition  that  not  less  than  four  (4)

time  the  said  road  or  any  portion  thereof  shall  be  unused  as  a  street 
railroad  as  contemplated  by  this  Ordinance,  then  this  entire  franchise

declared  by  the  Board  of  Trustees,  or  its  successor  or  successors. 

The  Board  of  Trustees  hereby  reserves  the  right  to  establish  a 
rate  of  fare  on  said  road  not  exceeding  ten  (10)  cents  or  less  than  five 
(5)  cents,  for  one  (1)  entire  single  trip  along  the  road  of  said  grantee

railway  to  be  accepted  on  any  railway  in  the  City,  in  which  case  each 
railway  shall  account  to  each  other  railway  for  the  tickets  of  such  rail- 
way that  may  have  been  used  on  each  other  railway. 

The  owner  or  owners  of  this  franchise  shall  pay  to  the  City  of 
Pasadena  such  license  on  each  car  as  may  be  ordained;  the  rights  and 
privileges  hereby  granted  are  granted  on  each  and  all  the  conditions 
and  provisions  herein  contained  and  reserved. 

And  if  the  said  grantee,  its  successors  in  interest  and  assigns,  shall

When  the  time  of  this  franchise  expires  if  it  has  not  been  forfeited  the 
owners  thereof  shall  be  entitled  to  the  preference  for  a  renewal  thereof 
if  they  will  accept  the  same  on  terms  like  and  equal  to  the  terms  ac- 
cepted by  any  competitor  demanding  such  franchise.

The  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  do  ordain  as  follows: 

Section  1.  That  the  right  of  way  is  granted  to  the  Pasadena  Street

the  streets  hereinafter  named,  and  operated  by  stationary  engines  run 
by  steam,  gas,  electricity  or  water  power,  such  engines  to  be  kept  in 
places  appointed  by  this  Board,  and  to  carry  passengers  thereon  for 
the  period  of  thirty-five  years  from  the  date  of  passage  hereof,  along 
the  following  public  highways  or  streets,  to-wit:  Beginning  on  the

near  thereto  as  possible  is  intended. 

Sec.  2.  Provided  that  no  turnout,  sidetrack  or  switch  shall  be  con-

designated  by  this  Board. 

Sec.  3.  Provided  also  and  upon  condition  that  the  construction  of 
said  road  saall  be  commenced  within  the  period  of  three  months  from 
the  date  of  passage  hereof,  and  over  the  entire  distance  shall  be  finally 
completed,  equipped,  stocked  and  in  running  order  within  twelve 
months  from  the  date  of  passage  hereof.  It  being  understood  that  this 
franchise  and  right  of  way  shall  be  forfeited  by  the  grantee  herein  or 
his  successors  as  to  all  of  said  road  not  completed  at  the  expiration  of 
the  said  twelve  months,  if  any  portion  of  the  said  road  at  the  expira- 
tion of  the  said  twelve  months  shall  remain  and  be  unfinished,  and  all 
conditions  as  to  time  are  essential  parts  of  this  grant. 

Sec.  4.  Provided,  further,  that  said  builder  or  builders  of  said  road 
shall  plank,  pave  or  macadamize  the  entire  length  of  said  route,  along 
which  the  said  road  may  be  constructed,  between  the  rails,  and  for  two 
feet  on  each  side  thereof,  with  such  materials,  at  such  time,  and  in 
such  manner  as  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  City  of  Pasadena,  or  that 
body,  person,  or  persons,  who  may  by  operation  of  law  succeed  to  the 
rights,  duties  or  privileges  of  the  said  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  City  of 
Pasadena,  may  determine,  and  shall  keep  the  same  and  all  portions  of 
the  streets,  over  which  any  part  of  said  track  may  be  constructed,  con- 
stantly in  repair  flush  with  the  street  and  provided  with  good  crossings 
wherever  roads  may  be  made  to  cross  said  railroad,  and  shall  in  con- 
struction leave  the  width  of  traveled  road  in  good  graded  condition 
and  keep  the  same  sprinkled  and  wet  down,  so  as  to  be  well  packed 
and  free  from  dust,  and  in  event  of  the  refusal  of  the  grantee  or  gran- 
tees, or  successors  or  assigns  to  plank,  pave  or  otherwise  improve  such 
roadway  within  the  limits  above  mentioned  in  the  same  manner  as 
the  other  part  or  parts  of  the  streets  used  at  the  time  of  construction, 
or  as  ordered  at  any  time  thereafter,  the  Board  of  Trustees  may  con- 
tract for  such  work  to  be  done  and  charge  the  same  against  such  gran- 
tee or  its  assigns,  and  if  the  same  be  not  paid  within  sixty  days  after 
the  completion  of  the  work,  then  either  the  contractor  or  the  City  of 
Pasadena  may  sue  for  and  recover  the  amount  due  in  a  civil  action 
and  enforce  the  same  by  execution  and  sale. 

Sec.  5.  In  constructing  or  repairing  said  railroad  not  more  than 
one  block  shall  be  obstructed  at  a  time  or  for  a  longer  period  than  ten 
working  days,  and  all  excavations  and  embankments  must  be  so  en- 

36 


closed  with  fencing  as  to  protect  travelers  from  injury  while  passing 
the  streets  by  night,  and  lighted  by  lanterns  in  conformity  with  the 
ordinances  in  such  cases  made  and  provided  by  the  City.  And  no 
alterations  or  repairs  of  such  railroad  exceeding  in  cost  the  sum  of 
twenty-five  dollars,  or  requiring  more  than  twenty-four  hours  to  com- 
plete, that  will  in  any  way  impede  or  obstruct  travel  upon  the  streets, 
shall  be  made  without  the  consent  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  or  other 
proper  authority. 

Sec.  6.  And  provided  that  the  track  shall  not  be  less  than  three 
and  one-half  nor  more  than  five  feet  wide  between  the  rails,  and  there 
shall  be  a  space  between  the  main  track  and  sidetracks  or  turnouts 
sufficient  to  allow  the  cars  to  pass  each  other  freely  and  without 
danger;  provided,  further  that  all  curves  made  in  the  construction  of 
this  road  shall  be  laid  out  and  designated  by  the  City  Surveyor  of 
Pasadena,  at  the  expense  of  the  owner  of  this  franchise;  further  that 
the  track  shall  be  guarded  on  each  side  by  a  plank  at  least  four  inches 
wide  and  two  inches  thick,  laid  against  the  rail  and  flush  with  the 
street  and  with  the  top  of  the  rail,  so  as  to  diminish  as  much  as  possi- 
ble the  obstruction  to  the  street  in  such  places  as  this  Board  may  di- 
rect; but  when  flat  rails  are  used,  such  as  in  the  opinion  of  this  Board 
do  not  require  such  plank  guard,  then  such  guard  need  not  be  used. 

Sec.  7.  Provided,  further,  that  the  laying  of  said  track  shall  in  all 
cases  conform  to  the  established  grade  whenever  any  part  of  said 
highway  has  been  or  shall  be  graded  to  an  established  grade,  and  in 
oher  cases  to  the  actual  grade,  and  whenever  any  such  grade  shall  be 
changed  or  altered,  the  bed  of  the  road  and  tracks  shall  be  made  to 
conform  therewith;  and  provided,  also,  that  whenever  this  road  shall 
intersect  or  be  intersected  by  any  other  track,  neither  of  said  inter- 
secting roads  shall  occupy  or  use  a  track  of  the  other  for  a  distance  of 
more  than  five  blocks  unless  by  order  of  this  Board  or  its  successors 
as  hereinafter  stated,  and  if  the  owners  of  such  intersecting  tracks 
shall  not  agree  upon, the  compensation  to  be  paid  to  the  owner  for  the 
use  of  a  track,  the  same  may  be  determined  as  provided  in  Title  VII, 
Part  III,  of  the  Code  of  Civil  Procedure  of  the  State  of  California,  with 
such  amendments  thereto  as  may  be  made.  But  the  roadway  and 
tracks  of  the  owner  or  owners  of  one  railroad  may  be  used  by  the 
owner  or  owners  of  any  other  railroad  with  the  permission  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees  first  had  and  obtained  and  without  judicial  proceed- 
ings, and  upon  paying  a  proper  proportion  of  the  cost  and  maintenance 
of  said  roadway  and  track;  which  property  shall  be  assessed  by  three 
disinterested  persons  as  appraisers,  to  be  appointed  by  the  Board  of 
Trustees,  and  thereafter  the  cost  of  alterations,  repairs  or  other  neces- 
sary improvements  shall  be  paid  in  the  same  proportion. 

Sec.  8.  Provided,  further,  that  said  builder  of  said  road  shall  pro- 
vide said  railroad  with  all  the  proper  and  necessary  flumes  and  cul- 
verts for  the  passage  of  water  under  the  said  track  from  the  lands 
higher  than  said  track  or  roadbed  are  or  are  required  to  be,  whenever 
and  wherever  and  in  whatever  manner  said  Board  of  Trustees  or  its 
successors  shall  order  said  flumes  or  culverts  to  be  placed. 

Sec.  9.  Provided,  further,  that  the  City  reserves  the  right  to  grade, 
sewer,  macadamize,  pave,  construct  zanjas,  alter  or  repair  all  or  either 
of  said  Highways  or  any  part  thereof,  and  to  pipe  or  to  authorize  the 
piping  of  the  same  for  water,  gas,  or  other  purposes,  such  work  to  be 
done  with  as  little  injury  as  possible  to  said  railroad,  but  when  it  shall 
be  necessary  the  owner  of  said  road  must  shift  the  rails  so  as  to  avoid 
the  obstruction  made  thereby. 

Sec.  10.  Provided,  further,  that  the  rate  of  fare  for  passengers  on 
said  railroad  shall  never  exceed  ten  cents  for  one  fare  for  any  distance 
along  said  road. 

Sec.  11.  Provided,  further,  and  upon  condition  that  not  less  than 
four  complete  trips  shall  be  made  each  day  during  the  continuance  of 
this  franchise,  and  the  Board  of  Trustees  may  regulate  the  schedule 
of  time  and  designate  the  number  of  trips  to  be  made  each  day;  and

a  street  railroad  as  contemplated  by  this  ordinance,  then  this  entire 
franchise  shall  be  forfeited  for  the  whole  of  said  road,  if  such  forfei- 
ture shall  be  declared  by  the  Board  of  Trustees  or  its  successor  or  suc-

one  railroad  to  be  accepted  on  any  other  railroad  in  the  City,  in  which

half  feet  nor  more  than  five  feet  wide  between  the  rails,  and  there 
shall  be  a  space  between  the  main  track  and  sidetracks  or  turnouts 
sufficient  to  allow  the  cars  to  pass  each  other  freely  and  without 
danger;  provided  further,  that  all  curves  made  in  the  construction  of 
this  road  shall  be  laid  out  and  designated  by  the  City  Surveyor  of

sible the  obstruction  to  the  street  in  such  places  as  this  Board  may 
•direct;  but  when  flat  rails  are  used,  such  as  in  the  opinion  of  this 
Board  do  not  require  such  plank  guard,  then  such  guard  need  not  be 
used;  and  it  is  hereby  provided  that  such  flat  rails  must  be  used  on 
that  portion  of  Colorado  Street  affected  by  this  ordinance.

altered,  the  bed  of  the  road  and  the  tracks  shall  be  made  to  conform 
therewith;  and  provided,  also,  that  whenever  this  road  shall  intersect 
or  be  intersected  by  any  other  track  neither  of  said  intersecting  roads 
shall  occupy  or  use  a  track  of  the  other  for  a  distance  of  more  than 
five  blocks,  unless  by  order  of  this  Board  or  its  successors  as  herein- 
after stated,  and  if  the  owners  of  such  intersecting  tracks  shall  not 
agree  upon  the  compensation  to  be  paid  to  the  owner  for  the  use  of  a 
track  the  same  may  be  determined  as  provided  in  Title  VII,  Part  III,  of 
the  Code  of  Civil  Procedure  of  the  State  of  California,  with  such 
amendments  thereto  as  may  be  made.  But  the  roadway  and  tracks  of 
the  owner  or  owners  of  one  railway  may  be  used  by  the  owner  or 
owners  of  any  other  railroad,  with  the  permission  of  the  Board  of

event  of  a  judgment  may  levy  upon  and  sell  said  franchise,  tracks,

thereby.  And  no  alterations  or  repairs  on  said  railway  exceeding  in 
cost  the  sum  of  $25.00  or  requiring  more  than  twenty-four  hours  to

other  sources,  and  within  ten  days  after  the  time  for  filing  the  afore- 
said statement,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  said  grantee,  his  successors  or 
assigns,  to  pay  to  the  City  Treasurer  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  the  ag- 
gregate sum  of  said  percentage  upon  the  amount  of  the  gross  annual 
receipts  arising  from  the  use,  operation  or  possession  of  this  franchise, 
determined  and  computed  in  the  manner  hereinbefore  provided.

tric, Interurban  or  Street  Railroad  or  Railway  Tracks  Thereon 
Shall  Be  Paved,  Prescribing  the  Manner  in  Which  the  Road-beds 
of  Said  Tracks  Shall  Be  Constructed,  and  Fixing  the  Type  of  Rail 
to  Be  Used  in  Certain  Track  Construction. 


The  Mayor  and  City  Council  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  do  ordain  as

Section  1.  The  word  "street"  as  herein  used  shall  include  ave- 
nues, boulevards,  highways,  lanes,  alleys,  crossings,  intersections, 
courts  and  public  ways  of  the  City  of  Pasadena. 

The  expressions  "railway  tracks"  as  herein  used  shall  include  the 
tracks  of  any  steam,  electric,  interurban  or  street  railroad  or  railway. 

The  expression  "space  occupied  by  railways  tracks '  (or  an  expres- 
sion similar  in  effect  thereto)  as  herein  used  shall  mean  the  portion 
of  a  street  required  by  law  to  be  paved,  improved  or  kept  in  repair 
by  the  person,  firm  or  corporation  maintaining  railway  tracks  thereon. 

A  "standard  road-bed"  is  a  road-bed  constructed  as  hereinafter 
provided  of  (a)  hydraulic  cement  concrete,  (b)  stone  balast,  or  (c) 
asphalt  concrete. 

(a)   HYDRAULIC  CEMENT  CONCRETE  CONSTRUCTION. 

When  hydraulic  cement  concrete  construction  is  used,  the  hy- 
draulic cement  concrete  shall  be  composed  by  volume  of  one  (1)  part 
cement,  three  (3)  parts  sand,  and  six  (6)  parts  of  broken  stone,  and 
the  concrete  shall  extend  at  least  six  (6)  inches  below  the  bottom 
of  the  ties,  and  the  space  between  and  around  the  ties  shall  be  filled 
in  with  concrete  at  least  level  with  the  top  of  the  ties.  When  the 
street  in  which  said  construction  is  made  is  ordered  paved  with  a 
pavement  having  a  cement  concrete  base,  or  is  already  paved  with 
such  a  pavement,  then  said  construction  shall  be  to  a  level  with  the 
sub-grade  of  the  wearing  surface  of  said  pavement  so  laid  or  ordered 
laid.  In  other  cases  it  shall  be  to  a  level  with  the  sub-grade  of  the 
pavement  ordered  to  be  laid,  or  already  laid.  The  concrete  need  not 
extend  more  than  three  (3)  inches  beyond  the  end  of  the  ties,  and  in 
no  case  more  than  two  (2)  feet  beyond  the  outer  rails  of  the  track, 
(b)  STONE  BALLAST  CONSTRUCTION. 

When  stone  ballast  construction  is  used,  the  ballast  shall  be  com- 
posed of  hard  durable  stone  or  of  screened  gravel,  free  from  dust  and 
dirt,  of  such  sizes  and  so  graded  as  to  permit  a  thorough  grouting. 
The  ballast  shall  be  at  least  six  (6)  inches  thick  below  the  bottom  of 
the  ties,  and  the  space  between  and  around  the  ties  shall  be  filled  in 
with  ballast  at  least  level  with  the  top  of  the  ties,  but  said  ballast 
need  not  extend  more  than  three  (3)  inches  beyond  the  end  of  the  ties, 
and  in  no  case  more  than  two  (2)  feet  beyond  the  outer  rails  of  the 
railway  tracks.  The  entire  thickness  of  the  ballast  shall  be  thoroughly 
grouted  with  hydraulic  cement  mortar  composed  by  volume  of  not 
less  than  one  (1)  part  cement  to  three  (3)  parts  of  sand.  When  the 
street  in  which  said  construction  is  made  is  ordered  paved  with  a 

131 


pavement  having  a  cement  concrete  base,  or  is  already  paved  with 
such  pavement,  then  said  construction  shall  be  to  a  level  with  the  sub- 
grade  of  the  wearing  surface  of  said  pavement  so  laid  or  ordered  ta 
be  laid.  In  other  cases  it  shall  be  to  a  level  with  the  sub-grade  of  the 
pavement  so  laid  or  ordered  to  be  laid. 

(c)  ASPHALT  CONCRETE  CONSTRUCTION. 

When  asphalt  concrete  construction  is  used,  the  asphalt  con- 
crete shall  be  composed  of  from  six  (6)  to  nine  (9)  per  cent  of  refined 
asphalt  with  a  penetration  of  from  eighty  (80)  to  one  hundred  (100) 
degrees,  District  of  Columbia  Standard,  of  from  thirty  (30)  to  forty 
(40)  per  cent  of  sand,  and  of  from  fifty  (50)  to  sixty  (60)  per  cent 
of  crushed  rock  graded  in  sizes  from  one-quarter  (%)  inch  minimum 
to  three  (3)  inches  maximum.  The  asphalt  concrete  shall  be  thor- 
oughly mixed  in  suitable  mixers  and  shall  be  heated  to  a  temperature 
of  from  two  hundred  and  fifty  (250)  to  three  hundred  (300)  degrees 
before  being  placed.  The  asphalt  concrete  shall  extend  at  least  eight 
(8)  inches  below  the  bottom  of  the  ties.  When  the  street  in  which 
said  construction  is  made  is  ordered  paved  with  a  pavement  having  a  ce- 
ment concrete  base,  or  is  already  paved  with  such  a  pavement,  then  said 
construction  shall  be  to  a  level  with  the  sub-grade  of  the  wearing  sur- 
face of  said  pavement  so  laid  or  ordered  to  be  laid.  In  other  cases  it 
shall  be  to  a  level  with  the  sub-grade  of  the  pavements  so  laid  or 
ordered  to  be  laid.  The  asphalt  concrete  need  not  extend  more  than 
three  (3)  inches  beyond  the  end  of  the  ties  and  in  no  case  more 
than  two  (2)  feet  beyond  the  outer  rails  of  the  track. 

A  "standard  pavement"  is  a  pavement  in  the  space  occupied  by 
railway  tracks  laid  under  the  same  specifications  and  superintendence 
(except  so  far  as  the  thickness  of  the  same  or  any  part  thereof  is 
modified  by  the  construction  of  the  road-bed)  as  the  pavement  in  the 
street  contiguous  thereto. 

"A  'standard  rail'  is  a  grooved  girder  rail  not  less  than  seven 
inches  in  height  and  of  such  pattern,  weight  and  dimension  as  shall 
be  approved  by  the  City  Council  of  the  City  of  Pasadena."

pavement,  any  person,  firm  or  corporation  having  such  railway  tracks 
thereon  shall  construct  a  standard  roadbed  for  such  tracks. 

Sec.  4.  That  whenever  the  City  Council  shall  order  any  street 
upon  or  across  which  there  are  any  railway  tracks  to  be  paved  or 
otherwise  improved,  any  person,  firm  or  corporation  having  railway 
tracks  thereon  shall  improve  the  space  occupied  by  such  tracks  with, 
a  standard  pavement,  provided,  however,  that  upon  all  streets  which

or  similar  pavement,  the  specifications  for  which  require  a  binder 
course,  such  binder  course  need  not  be  constructed  between  the  rails 
or  between  the  tracks,  if  there  be  more  than  one  track. 

Sec.  5.  That  whenever  the  City  Council  shall,  by  ordinance  or

vitrified  brick,  stone  blocks,  oil  macadam  or  other  permanent  pave- 
ment, complete  the  construction  of  the  roadbed  of  such  tracks  in  the 
manner  hereinbefore  provided,  and  complete  the  paving  of  the  space 
occupied  by  the  railway  tracks  with  standard  pavement  as  herein  pro- 
vided; and  in  the  case  of  any  such  street  so  ordered  to  be  otherwise 
paved  or  improved,  said  City  Council  shall  by  order  duly  entered  upon 
its  minutes,  fix  a  time  within  which  any  person,  firm  or  corporation 
shall  complete  the  paving  of  the  space  occupied  by  the  railway  tracks 
with  standard  pavement  as  herein  provided.  The  City  Clerk  shall 
cause  a  copy  of  such  order  to  be  forthwith  served  upon  such  person,

Local  Agent  in  the  City  of  Pasadena,  of  such  person,  firm  or  corpora- 
tion. Proof  of  the  service  of  such  order  shall  be  made  by  affidavit 
of  the  person  making  the  same  and  the  record  thereof  shall  be  kept  in 
the  office  of  the  City  Clerk.  Nothing  herein  contained  shall  be  con- 
strued to  prevent  the  City  Council  from  extending  the  time  so  fixed, 
for  good  cause,  and  prior  to  the  expiration  thereof,  upon  an  application 
in  writing  made  by  such  person,  firm  or  corporation.  Upon  the  service 
of  such  copy  of  such  order,  as  aforesaid,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  such 
person,  firm  or  corporation  to  prosecute  the  work  specified  in  such  or- 
der with  due  diligence  to  completion,  within  the  time  so  fixed,  or  within

Sec.  6.  That  whenever  any  person,  firm  or  corporation  having  any 
railway  tracks  upon  or  across  any  street  that  has  already  been  paved 
with  asphalt,  vitrified  brick,  stone  blocks,  oil  macadam  or  other  perma- 
nent pavement,  Tshall  desire  to  replace  the  rails  of  such  tracks  or  ties 
or  both,  with  new  rails  or  ties  or  both,  such  person,  firm  or  corpora- 
tion shall,  before  commencing  such  work,  give  notice  in  writing  to  the 
Superintendent  of  Streets  of  his  or  its  intention  so  to  do.  Thereupon 
said  Superintendent  of  Streets  shall  cause  an  inspection  to  be  made  of 
the  portion  of  such  street  where  it  is  so  proposed  to  do  such  work 
of  replacement,  and  in  writing  advise  the  City  Council  of  the  condi- 
tion thereof.  If  the  pavement  or  the  roadbed  where  it  is  proposed  to 
do  such  work,  has  not  been  constructed  in  conformity  with  the  pro- 
visions hereof,  the  City  Council  shall,  by  order  duly  entered  upon  its 
minutes,  require  said  person,  firm  or  corporation  to  reconstruct  such 
roadbed  and  to  repave  the  said  portion  of  such  street  to  conform  with 
the  requirements  of  this  ordinance.  The  City  Council  shall,  in  such 
order,  fix  the  time  within  which  the  work  therein  described  shall  be 
done  and  shall  cause  a  copy  of  such  order  to  be  served  upon  such  per- 
son, firm  or  corporation.  Such  service  shall  be  made,  proved,  and 
a  record  thereof  kept,  in  tne  same  manner  as  herein  provided  for  the 
service  of  the  order  in  Section  5  hereof.  The  time  specified  in  such 
order  may  be  extended  by  the  City  Council  for  good  cause,  upon  appli- 
cation in  writing  made  by  such  person,  firm  or  corporation,  prior 
to  the  expiration  of  such  time.  If  said  roadbed,  where  it  is  proposed 
to  lay  such  new  rails  or  ties,  has  been  ballasted  with  broken  stone  or 
screened  gravel,  nothing  herein  contained  shall  be  construed  to  prevent 
the  City  Council  in  its  discretion,  from  not  requiring  such  roadbed  to 
be  reconstructed;  and  provided  further,  that  if  the  distance  for  which 
such  person,  firm  or  corporation,  shall  desire  to  replace  such  rails  or 
ties  or  both,  shall  be  less  than  six  hundred  (600)  feet,  the  City  Council 
may,  in  its  discretion,  grant  a  special  permit  to  use  such  paving  ma- 
terials in  the  work  of  replacing  such  rails  or  ties  or  both,  as  it  may 
prescribe,  and  in  such  permit  it  shall  fix  the  time  for  the  completion 
of  said  work;  and  if  such  permit  is  granted,  all  work  of  paving  and  re- 
pairing thereunder  shall  be  done  under  the  instruction  and  to  the  sat- 
isfaction of  the  Superintendent  of  Streets. 

Any  person,  firm  or  corporation  served  with  a  copy  of  said  order, 
or  securing  a  special  permit  as  herein  provided,  is  hereby  required 
to  prosecute  the  work  specified  therein  diligently  to  completion  within 
the  time  fixed  and  stated  therein,  or  within  such  time  as  the  same  may 
be  extended,  as  aforesaid. 

133 


Sec.  7.  Before  making  any  order  or  determination  fixing  the  time 
for  the  completion  of  any  work  as  provided  in  Section  5  hereof,  or  be- 
fore making  any  order  or  determination  as  provided  in  Section  6  here- 
of, the  City  Council  shall  cause  at  least  five  (5)  days  notice  to  be  given 
to  the  person,  firm  or  corporation  who  or  which  would  be  affected  by 
any  such  order  or  determination,  of  the  date  of  the  meeting  at  which 
it  is  proposed  to  make  the  same.  Such  notice  shall  be  in  writing  and 
shall  be  served  by  delivering  the  same  personally  to  the  General  Man- 
ager, or  Superintendent,  or  Local  Agent  in  the  City  of  Pasadena,  of 
the  person,  firm  or  corporation  to  be  affected  by  such  proposed  order 
or  determination.  Proof  of  the  service  of  such  notice  shall  be  made  by 
affidavit  of  the  person  making  the  same,  and  the  record  thereof  shall 
be  kept  in  the  office  of  the  City  Clerk.  The  provisions  of  this  section 
shall  be  deemed  to  be  directory  and  the  failure  to  give  such  notice 
shall  not  impair  the  validity  or  effect  of  any  order  or  determination 
made  hereunder. 

Sec.  8.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  Superintendent  of  Streets  to 
inspect  frequently  and  carefully  all  railway  tracks  in  streets  of  the

tracks  to  be  in  bad  condition  or  out  of  repair,  to  advise  the  City  Coun- 
cil thereof  in  writing,  specifying  in  reasonable  detail  the  location  of 
such  tracks  and  the  particulars  in  which  the  space  occupied  thereby 
is  in  bad  condition  or  out  of  repair. 

Sec.  9.  It  shall  be  unlawful  for  any  person,  firm  or  corporation 
owning  or  operating  any  steam,  electric,  interurban  or  street  railroad 
or  railway  in  the  City  of  Pasadena,  to  use  or  lay,  or  cause  or  per- 
mit to  be  used  or  laid,  any  rails  other  than  a  standard  rail  in  the 
construction  of  the  railway  tracks  thereof,  upon  or  across  any  street 
that  shall  hereafter  be  paved  with  asphalt,  vitrified  brick,  stone  blocks, 
oil  macadam  or  other  permanent  pavement,  or  in  replacing  the  rails 
of  any  such  track  or  tracks  that  shall  be  taken  up  and  replaced  with 
new  rails,  for  a  distance  of  six  hundred  (600)  feet  or  over.  Provided, 
however,  that  nothing  herein  contained  shall  be  construed  to  require 
the  use  of  such  grooved  girder  rails  on  curves  where  guard  rails  are 
used  or  on  track  crossings,  or  on  streets  not  paved  with  asphalt,  vitri- 
fied brick,  stone  blocks,  oil  macadam  or  other  permanent  pavement. 
Provided  further,  that  on  all  streets  except  Colorado  Street,  between

City  of  Pasadena,  in  violation  of  the  provision  of  this  ordinance,  shall 
in  every  case  be  also  deemed  to  be  the  act,  omission  or  failure  of  such 
person,  firm  or  corporation  so  operating  such  steam,  electric,  interur-

ORDINANCE    NO.    1180. 


An  Ordinance  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  Granting  to  the  Pacific  Electric 
Railway  Company  a  Franchise  to  Construct  and  Operate  an  Elec- 
tric Railroad  in  and  Upon  Washington  Street  in  the  City  of 
Pasadena. 


The  Mayor  and  City  Council  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  do  ordain  as 
follows : 

Section  1.  That  a  franchise  be,  and  it  is  hereby  granted  to  the 
Pacific  Electric  Railway  Company,  herein  designated  as  "Grantee,"  and 
its  successors  and  assigns,  to  construct,  operate  and  maintain  an  elec- 
tric railroad  along  Washington  Street,  in  the  City  of  Pasadena,  between 
North  Lake  Avenue  and  the  east  city  boundary  line  of  said  city. 

That  the  said  franchise  is  described  as  follows,  to-wit: 

A  franchise  to  construct,  operate  and  maintain  an  electric  railroad, 
to  be  single  or  double  track,  in  whole  or  in  part,  at  the  option  of  the 
grantee  hereof,  or  its  successors  or  assigns,  along  and  upon  Washing- 
ton Street  in  the  City  of  Pasadena  from  the  intersection  therewith  of 
North  Lake  Avenue  to  the  eastern  boundary  line  of  said  city. 

Together  with  the  right  to  construct  and  maintain  all  necessary 
curves,  connections  with  street  intersections,  and  such  turn-outs  and 
switches  as  may  be  approved  by  the  City  Council  of  the  City  of  Pasa- 
dena, and  all  other  appliances,  proper  constructions  and  attachments 
as  may  be  necessary  for  the  purpose  of  operating  said  railroad. 

The  terms  and  conditions  upon  which  said  franchise  is  granted 
are  the  following,  to-wit: 

I. 

The  duration  of  the  franchise  shall  be  thirty  years  from  the  date 
of  the  publication  of  this  ordinance,  but  should  the  city  at  any  time 
after  the  expiration  of  nineteen  years  seek  to  acquire  said  road  by  con- 
demning or  any  legal  procedure,  the  value  of  said  franchise  shall  not 
be  included  in  determining  the  value  of  the  interest  of  the  grantee  or 
its  successors  or  assigns  in  said  road,  not,  however,  excluding  the  value 
of  such  line  as  a  connection  with  other  lines  or  the  value  of  the  good 
will  incident  to  the  fact  that  the  road  is  in  actual  operation. 

II. 

The  work  of  constructing  said  road  shall  be  commenced  in  good 
faith  within  not  more  than  four  (4)  months  from  the  date  of  the  grant- 
ing of  such  franchise,  and  shall  be  continuously  prosecuted  thereafter 
in  good  faith  and  without  unnecessary  or  avoidable  intermission  or 
delays.  Said  work  of  construction  shall  be  fully  completed  and  said 
road  shall  be  in  operation  within  not  more  than  one  year  from  the 
date  of  the  granting  said  franchise.  In  the  event  that  the  grantee 
exercises  the  option  of  constructing  a  double  track  railroad  such  option 
shall  be  exercised  and  the  work  of  construction  of  said  double  tracks 
shall  be  fully  completed  within  five  (5)  years  from  the  date  of  the 
publication  of  the  ordinance  granting  the  franchise;  provided,  however, 
the  City  Council  may  by  ordinance  require  the  earlier  exercise  of  said 
option  in  the  event  of  the  improvement  of  said  street. 

III. 

The  tracks  to  be  laid  under  said  franchise  shall  be  placed  as  near 
equidistant  from  the  center  of  the  street  as  possible;  and  where  said 
road  is  double-tracked,  said  tracks  must  have  a  space  between  them 
sufficient  to  allow  the  cars  to  pass  each  other  freely  and  must  be  as 
near  to  each  other  as  a  proper  regard  for  safety  will  allow.  Said 
tracks  must  not  be  more  than  five  (5)  feet  wide  between  the  rails. 

135 


IV. 

The  grantee  of  said  franchise,  or  its  successors  or  assigns,  shall 
at  its  own  cost  and  expense,  sprinkle,  clean,  plank  or  re-plank,  pave  or 
re-pave,  macadamize,  or  re-macadamize  the  entire  length  of  the  street 
occupied  by  the  track  or  tracks  used  by  it,  and  between  the  rails  and 
for  two  (2)  feet  on  each  side  thereof,  and  between  the  tracks,  if  there 
be  more  than  one,  and  on  each  side  therof,  and  keep  the  same  con- 
stantly in  repair,  flush  with  the  street  and  with  good  crossings.  Such 
work  must  be  done  with  such  kinds  of  materials  and  in  such  manner 
as  may  be  provided  by  ordinance  now  in  force,  or  which  may  hereafter 
be  adopted.  It  shall  be  competent  to  require  such  work  to  be  done 
as  part  of  the  same  operation  as  the  work  on  the  remainder  in  width 
of  said  street.  The  several  requirements  contained  in  Ordinance  No. 
1141  of  the  City  of  Pasadena,  being  an  ordinance  entitled  "An  ordi- 
nance of  the  City  of  Pasadena  regulating  the  manner  in  which  those 
portions  of  streets  required  by  law  to  be  paved  and  kept  in  repair  by 
persons,  firms  or  corporations  having  steam,  electric,  interurban  or 
street  railroad  or  railway  tracks  thereon,  shall  be  paved,  prescribing 
the  manner  in  which  the  roadbeds  of  said  tracks  shall  be  constructed, 
and  fixing  the  type  of  rail  to  be  used  in  certain  track  construction" 
(to  which  said  ordinance  reference  is  hereby  made),  shall,  together 
with  all  ordinances  amendatory  thereto,  govern  and  be  binding  upon 
the  grantee  of  said  franchise,  and  its  successors  or  assigns.  Upon  the 
regradirig  or  improving  of  said  street,  said  roadbed  or  rails  shall  by 
the  grantee,  or  its  successors  or  assigns,  be  placed  upon  and  made  to 
conform  to  such  official  grade.  Said  grantee,  or  its  successors  or  as- 
signs, shall  construct,  reconstruct  and  repair  under  and  across  the 
streets  along  which  said  tracks  shall  run,  all  flumes  and  culverts  for 
the  free  passage  of  water  under  the  tracks  of  said  railroad  whenever 
and  wherever  necessary.  All  such  flumes  and  culverts  shall  be  con- 
structed in  accordance  with  plans  and  specifications  approved  by  the 
City  Engineer  or  City  Council  of  said  city,  and  the  determination  of 
the  City  Engineer  shall  be  final  as  to  the  necessity  of  such  construc- 
tion or  reconstruction  and  repairs.  In  the  event  that  the  grantee  of  the 
franchise,  or  its  successors  or  assigns,  shall  fail  or  neglect  to  comply 
with  the  requirements  hereof  in  respect  to  the  construction  or  mainte- 
nance of  its  roadbed,  tracks,  rails,  flumes  or  culverts,  the  city  may  pro- 
vide for  the  doing  of  said  work  at  the  expense  of  said  grantee,  or  its 
successors  or  assigns,  either  by  the  doing  of  said  work  by  the  city  and 
the  recovery  of  the  cost  thereof,  or  by  the  letting  of  a  contract  therefor, 
and  the  issuance  of  a  warrant  which  shall  represent  the  said  cost  and 
which  shall  be  a  lien  upon  the  tracks,  roadbed,  rails,  poles  and  wires 
of  said  grantee,  or  its  successors  or  assigns. 

V. 

The  City  of  Pasadena  shall  have  the  right  at  any  time,  upon  re- 
quest of  the  City  Council  thereof,  to  use  the  poles  of  such  grantee, 
or  its  successors  or  assigns,  which  may  be  erected  pursuant  to  the 
terms  of  the  franchise,  to  carry  wires  and  other  appliances  used  by 
said  city,  for  the  purpose  of  supplying  electricity  for  the  use  of  said 
city  and  its  inhabitants,  and  for  the  purpose  of  supplying  and  main- 
taining a  fire  and  police  alarm  system,  upon  proper  division  of  expense 
incident  to  such  joint  use. 

VI. 

This  franchise  shall  not  be  interpreted  as  granting  any  right  to 
transport  freight  except  that  the  line  constructed  thereunder  may 
transport  or  appropriate  cars  and  at  such  time  as  will  not  interfere 
with  the  regular  passenger  traffic,  such  material  as  may  be  needed  for 
the  construction  of  its  tracks,  or  extensions  thereto,  or  for  the  paving, 
repairing  or  macadamizing  of  the  street  along  which  said  line  or  its 
extensions  is  constructed,  and  shall  also,  upon  payment  of  such  com- 
pensation as  may  be  agreed  upon  between  the  grantee,  or  its  successors 
or  assigns,  transport  such  street  building  materials  or  other  materials 
for  the  city  or  for  contractors  of  the  city  as  may  be  needed  in  the 
construction  or  repairing  of  streets  or  other  public  works.  The  right 
to  regulate  the  use  of  said  line  for  the  transportation  of  express  mat- 
ter is  expressly  reserved  to  the  City  Council.

corporation  operating  cars  over  said  road  as  aforesaid,  showing  the 
total  gross  receipts  and  gross  earnings  collected  and  received  by  said 
grantee,  or  its  successors  or  aspigns,  or  by  the  person  or  corporation 
operating  cars  over  said  road  during  the  preceding  twelve  (12)  months 
from  all  traffic  over  any  part  of  the  line  for  the  construction  and 
operating  of  which  said  franchise  is  granted  or  used,  and  over  any 
part  of  the  system  of  street  railroads  of  which  it  may  be  an  extension

lien  upon  the  tracks,  roadbed,  rails,  poles  and  wires  of  said  grantees 
or  their  successors  or  assigns.

of  said  grantees  or  their  successors  or  assigns,  of  the  privileges  or  any 
of  them  granted  by  this  franchise,  or  from  any  act  or  acts  of  the

forfeited  by  a  failure  to  make  the  payments  provided  for.  Provided 
that  if  the  road  for  which  said  franchise  is  granted  or  used  shall  be 
an  extension  of  an  existing  system  of  street  railroads,  then  the  gross

XIII. 

In  granting  this  franchise  the  city  (without  admitting  or  recog- 
nizing in  any  way  that  it  is  not  already  vested  with  the  powers  here- 
inafter reserved)  hereby  expressly  reserves  the  right  to  grade,  sewer, 
pave,  macadamize,  alter,  repair  or  otherwise  make  or  provide  for  the 
making  of  local  improvements  in  the  street  along  which  said  franchise 
is  granted;  also  to  enact  and  enforce  all  reasonable  ordinances  regu- 
lating the  rails,  tracks,  roadbeds,  poles,  wires,  fares,  transfers  and 
service  of  the  grantees  or  their  successors  or  assigns,  together  with 
all  reasonable  and  proper  ordinances,  in  the  exercise  of  its  police 
power  and  of  its  power  to  make  and  provide  for  the  making  of  local 
improvements  by  special  assessment,  and  nothing  herein  contained 
shall  ever  be  construed  or  taken  to  exempt,  or  as  a  contract  right  ex- 
empting the  grantees  or  their  successors  or  assigns  from  complying 
with  any  ordinances  now  in  force  or  which  may  hereafter  be  adopted. 
The  enumeration  herein  of  specific  rights  reserved  shall  not  be  taken 
as  exclusive  or  as  limiting  the  general  reservations  here  made. 

XIV. 

This  franchise  is  granted  upon  each  and  every  condition  herein 
contained  and  shall  ever  be  strictly  construed  against  the  grantees 
and  their  successors  and  assigns.  Nothing  shall  pass  thereby  unless  it 
be  granted  in  plain  and  unambiguous  terms.  Each  of  said  conditions 
is  a  material  and  essential  condition  to  the  granting  of  said  franchise. 
Any  neglect,  failure  or  refusal  to  comply  with  any  of  the  conditions  of 
such  franchise,  or  with  any  of  the  terms  or  conditions  of  any  ordinance 
now  in  force  or  which  may  hereafter  be  adopted  shall  thereupon  im- 
mediately and  ipso  facto  effect  a  forefeiture  thereof,  and  the  said  city, 
by  its  City  Council,  may  thereupon  declare  said  franchise  forfeited 
and  may  exclude  said  grantees  or  their  successors  or  assigns  from  the 
further  use  of  said  street  under  said  franchise.  Said  grantees  or  their 
successors  or  assigns  shall  thereupon  and  immediately  surrender  all 
rights  in  and  to  the  same  and  said  franchise  shall  be  deemed  and  shall 
remain  null  and  void  and  of  no  effect.  No  provision  hereinbefore  made 
for  the  purpose  of  securing  the  enforcement  of  the  terms  and  conditions 
of  this  franchise  shall  be  deemed  an  exclusive  remedy  or  to  afford  the 
exclusive  procedure  for  an  enforcement  of  said  terms  and  conditions, 
but  the  remedies  and  procedure  herein  outlined  or  provided,  including 
forfeiture,  shall  be  deemed  to  be  cumulative. 

Sec.  2.  The  City  Clerk  shall  certify  to  the  adoption  of  this  ordi- 
nance and  cause  the  same  to  be  published  once  in  the  Pasadena  Daily 
News.

DECISION, 
jfishleman  and  Edgerton,  Commissioners. 


These  two  applications  were  filed  on  May  20th  and  21st,  1912, 
respectively,  and  thereafter  the  City  of  Pasadena  asked  and  was 
granted  leave  to  intervene.  The  applications  were  consolidated  and 
the  hearing  on  the  applications  and  the  intervention  held  on  the  21st 
day  of  June,  1912,  in  the  City  of  Pasadena. 

The  testimony  disclosed  the  situation,  which  is  substantially  as 
follows : 

As  the  result  of  litigation  between  the  City  of  Pasadena  and  The 
Pacific  Telephone  and  Telegraph  Company,  finally  determined  by  the 
Supreme  Court  of  the  State  of  California,  (Sunset  Telephone  and 
Telegraph  Company  vs.  City  of  Pasadena,  118,  Pac.  796),  The  Pacific 
Telephone  and  Telegraph  Company  finds  itself  unable  to  operate 
further  its  telephone  exchange  business  within  the  City  of  Pasadena 
without  the  granting  of  a  new  franchise  by  that  city. 

The  Home  Telephone  and  Telegraph  Company  of  Pasadena  is 
operating  a  telephone  exchange  in  the  City  of  Pasadena  under  a  legal 
franchise.  The  City  of  Pasadena  desiring  to  consolidate  the  telephone 
service  being  rendered,  has  refused  to  renew  the  franchise  of  The 
Pacific  Telephone  and  Telegraph  Company  and  has  insisted  upon  a 
consolidation  of  its  telephone  service. 

It  appears  from  all  the  evidence  before  us  that  such  a  consolidation 
is  generally  desired  and  is  desirable. 

The  United  States  Long  Distance  Telephone  and  Telegraph  Com- 
pany is  an  interested  party  because  of  the  fact  that  it  is  now  and 
has  been  for  some  time  in  the  past  rendering  long  distance  service  to 
the  patrons  of  the  existing  Home  Telephone  and  Telegraph  Company, 
whereas,  the  patrons  of  The  Pacific  Telephone  and  Telegraph  Com- 
pany have  had  access  to  the  long  distance  lines  of  The  Pacific  Tele- 
phone and  Telegraph  Company,  and  it  is  proposed  that,  under  the 
consolidation,  the  subscribers  to  telephone  service  in  Pasadena  shall 

146 


have  access  to  long  distance  service  of  both  long  distance  telephone 
systems. 

No  opposition  has  developed  from  any  source  to  those  ultimate 
purposes  and  desires  of  the  applicant  and  the  interested  parties,  and 
it  appears  that  they  are  results  that  will  tend  greatly  to  the  public 
benefit  and  convenience,  both  in  the  City  of  Pasadena  and  a  consider- 
able territory  adjacent  thereto.  It  remains,  then,  to  effect  such  a 
result  under  such  reasonable  terms  and  regulations  as  will  safeguard 
the  interests  of  the  general  public,  the  telephone  users  and  the 
operating  companies  involved,  in  the  future. 

The  City  of  Pasadena  requests  that  the  order  which  we  shall 
issue  in  the  premises  be  made  subject  to  the  endorsement  of  the 
City  of  Pasadena.  The  Commission  does  not  desire  to  put  itse^  in  the 
light  of  issuing  an  order  requiring  any  other  approval  and  in  this 
case  our  decision  and  order  are  made  entirely  without  reference  to, 
or  recognition  of,  any  such  necessity,  but  desiring  in  every  way  to  co- 
operate with  the  city  authorities  jointly  interested  in  the  regulation 
of  utilities  and  in  this  case,  the  City  of  Pasadena  and  the  residents 
thereof  being  the  parties  directly  "interested  in  the  combination  of 
these  two  systems,  we  are  disposed  not  to  permit  a  combination  under 
terms  which  will  be  distasteful  to  the  authorities  of  such  city. 

Therefore,  we  are  disposed  to  make  the  effectiveness  of  this 
decision  and  order  contingent  upon  the  approval  of  it  by  the  City  of 
Pasadena  through  a  proper  ordinance  and  the  effective  date  hereof 
will  be  the  date  of  the  going  into  effect  of  such  ordinance.  If  the 
City  of  Pasadena  is  not  satisfied  with  the  terms  imposed  herein  and 
does  not  pass  an  ordinance  approving  the  same,  then,  of  course,  the 
result  will  be  a  denial  of  the  application  to  consolidate. 

The  City  of  Pasadena  has  requested  that  certain  conditions  be 
imposed,  most  of  which  we  now  find  to  be  entirely  proper  and  reason- 
able, and  with  slight  exception,  we  will  make  our  approval  contingent 
upon  such  conditions.  Certain  conditions  asked  for  are  imposed  by 
operation  of  law,  particularly  those  preventing  the  increase  of  rates 
and  the  impairment  of  the  standard  of  service  and,  therefore,  no 
conditions  are  necessary  to  be  imposed  with  reference  thereto.  The 
only  two  important  provisions  concerning  which  there  is  much  con- 
troversy are  those  requiring  an  optional  two-number  and  particular- 
party  service  over  The  Pacific  Telephone  and  Telegraph  Company's 
lines  between  the  Pasadena  Exchange  and  the  City  of  Los  Angeles 
and  the  requirement  of  a  deposit  on  the  part  of  the  subscriber  as  a 
prerequisite  to  having  his  service  connected. 

The  first  matter  involves  primarily  a  question  of  expense.  State- 
ments have  been  submitted  to  the  Commission  showing  that  a  com- 
pliance with  the  City's  request  in  this  regard  will  occasion  expenditures 
of  considerable  size  and  it  seems  to  be  undisputed  that  such  is  a  fact. 
We  do  not  desire  to  require  this  company  to  make  unnecessary  ex- 
penditures, but  on  the  other  hand,  we  desire  to  require  the  very  best 
possible  service  within  the  territory  involved.  It  has  not  been  made 
clear  to  us  that  the  added  advantages  to  the  city  will  offset  the  addi- 
tional expenditure,  but  we  do  not  desire  to  foreclose  the  question 
and  we  reserve  a  decision  as  to  this  matter  and  request  that  sometime 
within  a  year  from  date  the  city  authorities  present  to  us  their 
further  views,  based  upon  experience  with  the  consolidated  system.  If 
it  appears  at  such  time  that  any  inconvenience  is  occasioned  to  the 
patrons  of  this  company  within  the  City  of  Pasadena  by  reason  of 
not  requiring  optional  two-number  and  particular-party  service,  the 
Commission  will  require  that  such  optional  two-number  and  particular- 
party  service  be  installed  and  the  decision  is  rendered  contingent 
upon  the  companies  involved  being  willing  immediately  to  comply 
with  this  Commission's  orders  in  this  regard,  if  it  shall  hereafter  be 
made. 

As  to  requiring  a  deposit,  we  feel  that  the  need  of  such  deposit 
should  be  plain.  Anything  which  adds  to  the  burdens  of  the  patrons 
of  a  utility  without  being  of  substantial  benefit  to  the  utility  should, 
of  course,  not  be  required  and  any  payment  which  adds  to  the  bur- 
dens of  the  patrons  of  the  utility  which  the  utility  has  not  a  plain 
right  to  exact  will  not  by  this  Commission  be  approved.  We,  therefore, 

147 


reject  the  application  to  require  a  deposit  of  any  sum  in  the  nature 
of  a  guarantee  and  telephone  service  shall  be  rendered  upon  applica- 
tion and  on  the  signing  of  the  company's  contract,  which  contract  shall 
be  subject  to  the  approval  of  the  City  of  Pasadena. 

We  would  suggest,  however,  that  this  company  keep  a  detailed 
statement  as  to  any  losses  which  may  be  entailed  by  reason  of  its 
not  being  allowed  to  exact  a  guarantee,  and  if,  at  a  subsequent  date,, 
it  appear  that  these  losses  are  sufficiently  large  to  warrant  the  im- 
position of  a  deposit,  we  will  be  disposed  to  modify  this  decision  and 
order  in  this  regard. 

The  city  also  requests  that  within  a  reasonable  time  all  property 
and  rights  of  the  Home  Telephone  and  Telegraph  Company  of  Pasa- 
dena shall  be  assigned  and  transferred  to  the  Pacific  Telephone  and 
Telegraph  Company.  The  Pacific  Telephone  and  Telegraph  Company 
resisted  this  application  on  the  ground  that  the  holders  of  the  bonds 
of  the  Home  Telephone  and  Telegraph  Company  might  object  to  such 
a  condition.  At  the  suggestion  of  the  Commission,  the  representatives 
of  the  bondholders  were  consulted  and  we  have  been  assured  that  no 
objection  would  be  raised  by  the  bondholders  to  the  granting  of  this 
request. 

We,  therefore,  recommend  the  following  order: 

Application  having  been  made  by  The  Pacific  Telephone  and 
Telegraph  Company  for  authorization  to  purchase  the  capital  stock  of 
The  Home  Telephone  and  Telegraph  Company  of  Pasadena,  which 
application  has  been  consolidated  with  the  application  of  The  Pacific 
Telephone  and  Telegraph  Company  for  authorization  to  sell  or  lease 
its  telephone  exchange  plant  at  Pasadena,  California,  to  the  Home 
Telephone  and  Telegraph  Company  of  Pasadena,  and  a  hearing  having 
been  duly  held  upon  said  consolidated  applications,  and  it  appearing 
to  the  Commission  that  the  applications  should  be  granted  under 
reasonable  restrictions  and  limitations  regarding  the  administration 
and  continuation  of  the  consolidated  telephone  service,  it  is  hereby 
ordered  as  follows: 

The  Pacific  Telephone  and  Telegraph  Company  is  authorized  to 
purchase  the  capital  stock  of  the  Home  Telephone  and  Telegraph 
Company,  and  The  Pacific  Telephone  and  Telegraph  Company  is 
authorized  to  sell  or  lease  its  telephone  exchange  plant  at  Pasadena, 
California,  to  The  Home  Telephone  and  Telegraph  Company,  of  Pasa- 
dena, California,  in  conformity  with  the  following  terms  and  conditions 
and  contingent  upon  the  passage  of  an  ordinance  of  the  City  of  Pasa- 
dena approving  said  purchase  and  sale  and  said  terms  and  conditions. 

I. 

(a)  Long  Distance  toll  service  shall  be  maintained  and  be  at  all 
times  available  to  all  present  or  future  telephone  subscribers  who  may 
be  subscribers  to  the  consolidated  telephone  service  in  Pasadena,  so 
that  any  subscribers  in  Pasadena  may  have  incoming  service  from  or 
outgoing  service  to  the  existing  toll  lines  now  entering  Pasadena. 
It  shall  be  optional  with  these  subscribers  over  which  toll  system 
their  messages  shal1  be  sent.  In  particular,  ample  and  suitable  space, 
room,  and  facilities  shall  be  furnished  the  United  States  Long  Dis- 
tance Telephone  and  i  elegraph  Company,  their  successors  and  assigns, 
in  any  building  in  which  the  exchange  telephone  service  shall  be 
established,  in  which  said  Long  Distance  Company  shall  have  the  right 
to  set  up,  maintain,  and  operate  a  sufficient  and  satisfactory  long 
distance  equipment  and  apparatus  for  caring  for  and  continuing  its 
long  distance  business,  both  outgoing  and  incoming. 

The  United  States  Long  Distance  Telephone  and  Telegraph  Com- 
pany shall  have  the  right  and  may  install  its  apparatus,  appliances, 
equipment,  and  facilities  for  the  carrying  on  of  and  caring  for  its  long 
distance  business,  and  shall  employ  on  its  own  account  all  operators 
and  employees  necessary  to  conduct  said  business. 

The   physical   connections   between   the   long   distance   apparatus 
and  equipment  and  the  apparatus  of  the  local  plant  shall  be  made  in 
a  manner  suitable  to  carrying  on  the  long  distance  business  to  the. 
advantageous  operation  of  the  long  distance  apparatus  and  lines  and 

148 


proper  service  for  the  patrons  of  the  local  company  and  without 
unnecessary  cost.  The  patrons  of  the  local  company  shall  have  the 
right  and  option  to  call  for  long  distance  service  over  the  lines  of  the 
United  States  Long  Distance  Telephone  and  Telegraph  Company  and 
<;alls  made  by  patrons  of  the  local  company  for  such  service  shall  be 
so  handled  by  the  operators  of  the  local  company  that  the  service 
given  the  patrons  of  the  local  company  by  the  Long  Distance  Com- 
pany shall  not  be  in  any  way  at  a  disadvantage.  All  messages,  both 
incoming  and  outgoing,  over  the  lines  of  the  Long  Distance  Company 
shall  be  handled  promptly  by  the  operators  of  the  local  company  and 
with  the  same  promptness  that  incoming  and  outgoing  messages  are 
handled  over  the  long  distance  lines  of  any  other  company. 

The  Long  Distance  Company  shall  have  the  right  to  designate 
the  name  by  which  its  service  shall  be  called  and  published. 

As  new  or  additional  equipment  or  alterations  in  equipment  are 
made  by  the  local  company,  the  Long  Distance  Company  shall  be 
given  the  information  at  as  early  a  davte  as  possible  of  any  contemplated 
changes  and  permitted  to  do  anything  necessary  to  bring  its  equipment 
into  proper  relation  with  the  proposed  change,  and  no  delay  or 
hindrance  shall  be  made  by  the  local  company  in  this  connection  nor 
in  the  event  the  Long  Distance  Company  shall  desire  to  make  changes 
in  or  additions  to  its  own  apparatus. 

(b)  The  Pacific  Telephone  and  Telegraph  Company  shall  main- 
tain its  present  long  distance  service,  whether  particular  party  or  two- 
number,  until  the  further  order  of  this  Commission. 

(c)  A  directory  or  directories   showing  the   subscribers  of  the 
Pasadena  Exchange  shall  be  furnished  each  of  such  subscribers  not 
less  than  twice  each  year.     Such  directory  or  directories  shall  also 
contain  the  names  and  numbers  of  all  the  subscribers  of  The  Pacific 
Telephone  and  Telegraph  Company  of  the  City  of  Los  Angeles  and 
contiguous  territory,  and  in  the  Pasadena  edition  of  such  directory, 
the  Pasadena  lists  of  subscribers  shall  appear  first.     A  directory  or 
directories  shall  also  be  furnished  each  of  such  subscribers  by  the 
United  States  Long  Distance  Telephone  and  Telegraph  Company  not 
less  than  twice  annually,  containing  all  the  subscribers  of  the  Home 
Telephone  and  Telegraph  Company  of  Los  Angeles,  and  also  the  sub- 
scribers of  other  independent  companies  operating  in  territory  contigu- 
ous to  Los  Angeles. 

II. 

Local   Rates  and  Service. 

The  rentals  charged  the  subscribers  of  the  Pasadena  Exchange, 
and  the  service  given  and  facilities  afforded  by  said  Exchange,  shall 
conform  to  the  following  requirements: 

(a)  The  minimum  rate  for  the  several  classes  of  service  now 
prevailing   in   the   systems   of   The   Home   Telephone   and   Telegraph 
Company  of  Pasadena  and  of  The  Pacific  Telephone  and  Telegraph 
Company  in  Pasadena,  respectively,  and  the  maximum  radius  of  serv-

respectively,  shall  in  the  several  instances  prevail  as  the  maximum 
rate  and  the  minimum  radius. 

(b)  The  average  time  for  answering  line  signals   shall  not  ex- 
ceed 4.3  seconds. 

(c)  The  percentage  of  line  signals  answered  in  ten  seconds  or

(d)  The  average  time  for  the  disconnection .  of  calls  shall  not 
exceed  four  seconds. 

(e)  The  percentage  of  disconnections  within  eight  seconds  shall 
not  be  less  than  95  per  cent. 

(f)  The  calls  not  affected  by  operators'  errors  shall  not  be  less

ject to  the  approval  of  the  City  of  Pasadena,  and  without  a  deposit 
of  any  sum  in  the  nature  of  a  guarantee  or  the  requiring  of  paying 
in  advance  for  longer  than  one  month. 

III. 
General   and    Miscellaneous   Requirements. 

(a)  The  interchange  of  service  between  the  two  systems  pend- 
ing their  physical  consolidation  shall  be  effected  within  three  months 
after  the  order  granting  these  applications  goes  into  effect,  and  the 
engineering  work  necessary   to   effect  complete   consolidation   of  the 
systems  shall  be  fully  completed  within  not  less  than  twelve  months 
from  the  date  this  order  goes   into   effect.     Strict  adherence  to   the 
service  requirements  hereinbefore  outlined  will  not  be  insisted  upon 
during  the  time  last  mentioned,  but  allowance  will  be  made  for  in- 
herent difficulties  in  rendering  first-class  service  during  the  time  of 
effecting  physical  consolidation  of  the  systems. 

(b)  The  construction  to  be  retained  in  service  in  the  course  of 
the  physical  consolidation  as  well  as  future  installations,  shall,  so  far 
as  located  within  the  City  of  Pasadena,  be  subject  to  the  approval 
of  the  City  Engineer  of  Pasadena,  and  shall  conform  to  the  ordinances 
of  said  city  now,  or  which  may  hereafter  be,  in  effect.     As  nearly  as 
possible  installation  without  the  City  and  within  the  Exchange  limits 
shall  follow  the  construction  within  the  city.     Particularly  shall  in- 
terior block  construction  for  the  business  section  and  rear  property 
line  construction  for  the  residence  section  prevail  in  the  preservation 
of  existing  facilities,   as  well  as  future  installations,   subject  to  the 
supervision  of  the  City  Engineer,  and  conditioned  upon  rights  of  way 
being  obtainable  from  property  owners  without  charge,  or  for  reason-

just  segregation  of  toll  revenues  based  upon  a  pro  rate  determined 
upon  the   actual   segregation   of  toll   investments   and    expenses   and

City  do  not  agree  as  to  such  segregation,  the  party  dissatisfied  there- 
with shall  have  the  right  to  appeal  to  the  Railroad  Commission,  the

stated  shall  be  deemed  reasonable),  it  being  contemplated  hereby  that 
the  true  ownership  and  control  of  such  Exchange  shall  appear. 

(f)  Nothing  in  this  order  or  in  the  proceeding  preliminary  there- 
to shall  be  deemed  in  any  way  to  be  an  acceptance   either  by  the 
Railroad   Commission   or  by   the   City  of   Pasadena   of  the   valuation 
placed  upon  the  property  of  said  Home  Telephone  and  Telegraph  Com- 
pany, or  The  Pacific  Telephone  and  Telegraph  Company  or  the  Sunset 
Telephone  and  Telegraph  Company.     The  value  of  the  properties  of 
said  Companies  is  expressly  left  open  for  future  determination. 

(g)  Nothing  in  this  order,  or  in  the  proceedings  preliminary  there- 
to, shall  be  deemed  in  any  way  to  constitute  a  contract  between  said 
Telephone  Company,  or  any  of  them,  and  the  City  of  Pasadena  or  the 
State  of  California.     It  is  intended  hereby  to  establish  certain  service, 
construction,  and  rate  regulations  to  which  said  Company,  and  each 
of  them,  must  conform  until  otherwise  provided  by  law.

and  Telegraph  Company,  and  calls  made  by  patrons  of  the  local  ex- 
change for  such  service  shall  be  so  handled  by  the  operators  of  the 
local  exchange  that  the  service  given  the  patrons  of  the  local  exchange 
by  the  Long  Distance  Company  shall  not  be  in  any  way  at  a  dis-

lines  of  any  other  company,  or  over  the  long  distance  lines  of  the  owner 
of  the  local  exchange.     The  Long  Distance  Company  shall  have  the 
right  to  designate  the  name  by  which  its  service  shall  be  called  and

are  made  in  the  local  exchange,  the  Long  Distance  Company  shall  be 
given  the  information  at  as  early  a  date  as  possible  of  any  contemplated

ORDINANCE   NO.  1012. 


An  Ordinance  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  Requiring  Owners  of  Abutting 
Property  to  Connect  Their  Property  With  Sewer  Mains,  and  Pro- 
viding for  the  Making  of  Such  Connections  and  the  Establishment 
of  a  Lien  for  the  Cost  Thereof  Against  the  Property  Connected 
and  Providing  for  the  Enforcement  of  Liens  Thus  Created. 

The  Mayor  and  City  Council  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  do  ordain  as 
follows : 

Section  1.  Whenever  a  public  sewer  is  hereafter  laid  in  any  street, 
lane,  alley  or  other  public  place  in  the  City  of  Pasadena,  or  whenever 
any  street,  lane,  alley  or  other  public  place  in  said  city  is  ordered  by 
the  City  Council  to  be  graded  or  regraded  to  the  official  grade,  paved 
or  repaved,  macadamized  or  re-macadamized,  oiled  or  re-oiled,  in  which 
there  is  any  sewer  main,  the  owners  of  real  property  fronting  upon 
any  such  street,  lane,  alley  or  other  public  place  shall  connect,  or 
cause,  or  procure  to  be  connected  their  several  premises,  fronting 
thereupon,  with  such  sewer  main,  as  herein  provided,  where  such 
premises  are  not  already  connected  at  the  distances  and  intervals  here- 
inafter in  this  section  specified.  Where  such  abutting  real  property 
is  subdivided  into  lots  not  exceeding  in  width  one  hundred  (100) 
feet,  such  connections  shall  be  made  with  each  lot;  and  where  not 
subdivided  or  subdivided  into  lots  of  greater  width  than  one  hundred 
(100)  feet,  said  conections  with  said  main  therein  shall  be  made  at 
not  greater  intervals  or  distances  apart  than  fifty  (50)  feet.  If  any 
of  said  owners  fail,  refuse  or  neglect  to  make  or  cause  to  be  made  such 
connections,  or  any  thereof,  either  as  in  this  section  required  or  as  may 
be  ordered  by  the  City  Council  as  hereinafter  in  Section  3  hereof  pro- 
vided, then  the  City  of  Pasadena  shall  make  or  cause  the  same  to  be 
made  under  the  procedure,  in  the  manner  and  with  the  effect  in  this 
ordinance  established  and  provided. 

Sec.  2.  When  a  contract  is  let  for  the  construction  of  a  public 
sewer  in  any  street,  lane,  alley  or  other  public  place  in  the  City  of 
Pasadena,  or  when  the  City  Council  shall  by  resolution  or  ordinance 
order  any  street,  lane,  alley  or  other  public  place  in  said  city  to  be 
graded  or  regraded  to  the  official  grade,  paved  or  repaved,  macada- 
mized or  re-macadamized,  oiled  or  re-oiled,  the  Superintendent  of 
Streets  shall  immediately  give  notice  in  the  manner  hereinafter  in  this 
section  provided  to  the  owners  of  real  property  fronting  upon  any  such 
street  lane,  alley  or  other  public  place  to  connect  their  several  prem- 
ises so  fronting,  where  the  same  are  not  already  connected  in  the  man- 
ner in  this  ordinance  specified,  with  such  sewer  main  therein  or  about 
to  be  laid  therein.  Said  notice  shall  recite  briefly  that  a  contract  has 
been  let  for  the  construction  of  a  public  sewer  in,  or  that  the  street, 
lane,  alley  or  other  public  place  has  been  ordered  improved,  as  the 
case  may  be,  and  shall  state  that  property  abutting  thereupon  must  be 
connected  with  the  sewer  main  in  said  street,  lane,  alley  or  other  pub- 
lic place  and  shall  refer  to  this  ordinance  for  further  particulars  as  to 
the  nature  of  the  requirements  and  as  to  the  proceedings  to  be  taken 
in  case  such  connections  are  not  made.  The  Superintendent  of  Streets 
shall  cause  said  notice  to  be  published  for  five  (5)  days  in  a  newspaper 
published  and  circulated  in  the  City  of  Pasadena,  and  where  the 
premises  abutting  upon  said  street,  lane,  alley  or  other  public  place 
are  occupied,  shall  serve  or  cause  to  be  served  a  copy  of  said  notice 
upon  the  occupant  of  each  thereof.  Where  not  occupied,  a 
copy  of  said  notice  shall  be  posted  in  a  conspicuous  place 
upon  each  of  such  premises.  The  affidavit  of  publication  of  said 
notice  by  the  proprietor,  foreman  or  clerk  of  the  newspaper  or  affidavit 
or  affidavits  of  the  Superintendent  of  Streets  or  of  the  person  or  per- 
sons posting  or  serving  said  notices  shall  be  filed  in  the  office  of  the 
Superintendent  of  Streets  and  shall  be  prima  facie  evidence  of  due  and 


proper  publication,  service  and  posting  of  said  notice.  Personal  service 
of  said  notice  upon  the  owner  of  any  property  as  to  which  connec- 
tions are  required  to  be  made,  shall  dispense  with  the  necessity  of  all 
other  or  further  notice  as  to  him. 

Sec.  3.  When  ten  (10)  days  of  the  date  of  the  last  publication  of 
said  notice,  any  such  owner  of  real  property  fronting  upon  any  such 
street,  lane,  alley  or  other  public  place,  may  make  and  file  with  the 
City  Clerk  a  written  protest  against  being  required  to  make  said  con- 
nection or  connections.  At  the  regular  meeting  of  the  City  Council 
next  succeeding  the  date  of  the  expiration  of  the  time  within  which 
protests  may  be  filed,  the  said  City  Council  shall  hear  such  protest 
or  protests,  or  at  said  time  the  City  Council  may  fix  another  time  at 
which  such  protest  or  protests  will  be  heard,  in  which  latter  case  the 
City  Clerk  shall  give  notice  of  the  time  and  place  and  the  fact  of  said 
hearing  by  mailing  a  notice  thereof  in  the  postoffice  of  the  city,  pos- 
tage prepaid,  addressed  to  each  protestant.  The  City  Council  may  sus- 
tain or  overrule  said  protest  or  protests,  or  it  may  order  that  said  con- 
nections be  made  at  different  intervals  than  in  Section  1  hereof  speci- 
fied; and  it  may  extend  the  time  within  which  connections  shall  be 
made  by  the  owners  of  abutting  property.  Its  determination  may  be 
made  and  evidenced  by  motion  duly  passed,  the  ayes  and  noes  being 
taken  and  entered  upon  the  records  of  the  City  Council.  The  City 
Council  may  also  at  its  said  first  regular  meeting  after  the  expiration 
of  the  time  within  which  protests  may  be  made,  when  no  such  protests 
are  made,  make  its  determination  respecting  the  matters  and  things 
above  specified,  in  the  same  manner  and  with  the  same  effect  above 
provided.  In  either  case  its  determination  shall  be  final  and  con- 
clusive. A  copy  of  the  motion  by  which  the  determination  of  the  City 
Council  is  evidenced  shall  be  posted  for  two  (2)  days  in  a  conspicuous 
place  near  the  Council  Chamber  door. 

Sec.  4.  Within  ten  (10)  days  from  the  date  of  such  determination 
by  the  City  Council,  or  in  case  no  protest  is  filed,  within  ten  (10)  days 
from  the  date  of  the  regular  meeting  of  the  City  Council  next  suc- 
ceeding the  expiration  of  the  time  within  which  such  protests  may  be 
made,  or,  in  case  a  public  sewer  is  being  laid  and  the  same  is  not  ac- 
cepted until  after  the  date  of  said  determination  or  the  date  of  said 
meeting,  within  ten  (10)  days  from  the  date  of  its  acceptance  by  the 
city,  or  within  the  time  fixed  by  the  City  Council  if  an  extension  of 
time  is  made,  each  of  such  owners  of  abutting  real  property  desiring 
to  connect  or  cause  to  be  connected  his  premises  with  said  main,  shall 
in  good  faith  commence  the  work  of  making  said  connections,  and 
each  thereof,  said  connections  to  be  made  as  in  Section  1  hereof  speci- 
fied, or  in  accordance  with  the  determination  of  the  City  Council  made 
as  provided  in  Section  3  hereof. 

Sec.  5.  At  the  expiration  of  said  ten  (10)  days,  the  Superintendent 
of  Streets  shall  make  or  cause  to  be  made  each  and  every  connection 
herein  required  to  be  made,  work  upon  which  has  not  in  good  faith 
been  commenced  within  the  time  herein  fixed.  Said  connections  and 
each  thereof  shall  be  made  in  the  manner  and  in  accordance  with  the 
specifications  following: 

Lateral  connections  with  sewers  shall  be  made  with  vitrified  salt- 
glazed  pipe,  six  (6)  inches  in  diameter,  in  accordance  with  specifica- 
tions contained  in  Ordinance  No.  281  of  the  City  of  Pasadena.  Such 
pipe  shall  be  laid  at  right  angles  to  the  property  line  and  at  a  fall 
of  one-fourth  (*4)  inch  to  the  foot.  The  end  of  the  pipe  at  the  prop- 
erty line  shall  be  safely  and  securely  sealed.  All  connections  shall  be 
made  from  the  main  in  the  street,  lane,  alley  or  other  public  place  to 
the  property  line  of  the  property  connected. 

Sec.  6.  The  Superintendent  of  Streets  shall  provide  himself  with 
a  suitable  record  book  entitled  "LIENS  FOR  LATERAL  CONNEC- 
TIONS." Said  book  shall  have  appropriate  headings  where  may  be 
entered  the  name  of  each  street,  lane,  alley  or  other  public  place  in 
which  lateral  connections  shall  be  made  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of 
this  ordinance.  Under  such  headings  columns  shall  be  provided  in 
which  may  be  entered  the  name  of  the  owner  of  the  property  with 
which  a  connection  is  made,  a  description  of  such  property,  connec- 
tions made  and  date  of  completion  of  each  such  connection,  expense 
incurred  by  the  city  in  making  each  such  connection,  date  of  delin- 


quency,  penalty  for  delinquency,  total  amount  chargeable  aginst  prop- 
erty at  date  of  sale,  date  of  sale,  name  of  purchaser,  date  of  redemp- 
tion and  by  whom  redeemed,  amount  paid  to  redeem,  date  of  deed  to 
the  city.  When  lateral  connections  are  made  as  herein  provided,  with 
property  upon  any  street,  lane,  alley  or  other  public  place,  the  Superin- 
tendent of  Streets  shall  enter  in  said  book  under  the  name  of  such 
street,  lane,  alley  or  public  place,  the  name  of  each  owner  of  real 
property  with  which  a  connection  is  made,  if  known,  and  if  not  known, 
he  shall  enter  under  such  heading  the  words,  "Unknown  Owner,"  a 
brief  description  of  the  property  connected,  the  connections  made,  the 
date  of  each  such  connection  and  the  expense  incurred  by  the  city  in 
making  or  causing  to  be  made  each  such  connection.  No  error  in  the 
name  of  the  owner  of  property  and  no  mistake  or  error  in  the  descrip- 
tion of  the  property,  provided  the  description  is  such  that  the  property 
referred  to  can  be  determined  therefrom,  shall  affect  the  validity  of  the 
lien  in  this  ordinance  provided  for. 

Sec.  7.  When  the  entries  respecting  any  particular  street,  lane, 
alley  or  place  have  been  made  by  the  Superintendent  of  Streets,  as 
provided  in  Section  6  hereof,  he  shall  cause  to  be  published  notice 
thereof  for  five  (5)  days  in  a  daily  newspaper  published  and  circulated 
in  the  City  of  Pasadena. 

Sec.  8.  Any  property  owner  affected  by  proceedings  taken  as  here- 
in provided,  feeling  aggrieved  by  any  act  or  determination  of  the  Su- 
perintendent of  Streets  or  City  Council  in  relation  thereto,  or  who  may 
claim  that  said  connections  or  any  thereof  have  not  been  made  in  a 
safe  and  workmanlike  manner,  or  having  any  objection  to  the  correct- 
ness or  legality  of  the  entries  in  said  record  book  of  the  said  Superin- 
tendent of  Streets,  may  within  thirty  (30)  days  of  the  date  of  the  first 
publication  of  the  notice  provided  in  Section  7  hereof,  make  and  file 
with  the  City  Clerk  an  objection  in  writing,  which  shall  succinctly 
specify  the  ground  of  his  objection.  All  objections  shall  be  heard  at 
the  regular  meeting  of  the  City  Council  next  succeeding  the  expiration 
of  the  time  for  filing  the  same,  or  the  City  Council  may  fix  a  time  and

execution  thereof,  and  of  title  in  the  grantee. 

Sec.  12.  The  provisions  of  Ordinance  No.  984  of  the  City  of  Pasa- 
dena respecting  deposits  in  the  case  of  excavations  in  the  streets  and

tions made  by  property  owners  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  this  ordi-

fees  provided  by  any  such  ordinance  or  ordinances  shall  be  paid  as  in

that  its  purposes  may  be  effected.  No  error  or  informality  in  any 
acts  or  preceedings  taken  hereunder,  which  do  not  substantially  affect

mands against  the  city.

Sec.  5.  ORDINANCE  OF  INTENTION.  Before  ordering  any  im- 
provement made  which  is  authorized  by  the  preceding  sections  hereof

ordinance  the  improvement  shall  be  briefly  and  succinctly  described. 
It  shall  not  be. necessary  to  describe  in  detail  such  improvement  but 
in  said  ordinance  reference  may  be  made  to  specifications,  plans, 
cross  sections  or  profiles,  or  any  or  all  thereof,  on  file,  for  further  par- 
ticulars and  description  of  the  improvement.  The  improvement  of 
various  streets  in,  and  real  property  and  rights-of-way  owned  by,  the

8 


improvement,  in  whole  or  in  part,  comprises  and  consists  of  one  con- 
necting system  and  when  the  cost  thereof  is  to  be  assessed  upon  a 
district  established  as  hereinafter  provided.  It  shall  not  be  necea- 
sary  in  the  Ordinance  of  Intention  to  except  from  the  improve- 
ment described  work  required  by  law  to  be  done  by  any  person  or 
company  maintaining  railroad  tracks  in  the  street  to  be  improved. 
Such  exception  shall  be  understood  to  have  been  made  in  said  ordi- 
nance and  in  all  proceedings  subsequent  thereto  by  virtue  hereof. 
Whenever  any  improvement  in  front  of  any  lot  shall  have  been  made, 
and  the  same  is  upon  the  official  grade  and  in  condition  satisfactory 
to  the  Superintendent  of  Streets,  the  Council  may  except  from  the 
improvement  described  the  improvement  so  made.  Whenever  the 
proposed  improvement,  in  the  opinion  of  the  Council,  is  of  more  than 
local  or  ordinary  public  benefit,  it  may  make  the  cost  of  such  im- 
provement chargeable  upon  a  district,  which  district  it  shall,  in  the 
Ordinance  of  Intention,  describe  by  specifying  the  exterior  boundaries 
thereof  and  declare  it  to  be  the  district  to  be  benefited  by  said  im- 
provement and  to  be  assessed  to  pay  the  cost  thereof.  No  Ordinance 
of  Intention  embracing  the  plantipg  of  grass,  shrubbery  or  trees 
shall  be  passed,  unless  there  shall  first  be  filed  with  the  City  Clerk  a 
petition  therefor  of  the  owners  of  a  majority  of  the  frontage  abutting 
upon  the  street  or  part  thereof  to  be  so  improved.  In  the  Ordinance 
of  Intention  there  shall  be  fixed  a  time  and  place  for  the  hearing  of 
protests  respecting  the  proposed  improvement,  which  time  shall  not 
be  less  than  twenty  (20)  days  from  the  date  of  its  adoption. 

Sec.  6.  PUBLICATION  AND  POSTING  OF  ORDINANCE  OF 
INTENTION  AND  NOTICES  OF  IMPROVEMENT.  The  Ordinance 
of  Intention  shall  be  published  once,  in  the  English  language,  in  a 
newspaper  published  and  circulated  in  the  City  of  Pasadena.  The 
Superintendent  of  Streets  shall  also  cause  to  be  conspicuously  posted 
along  the  line  of  the  proposed  improvement,  not  more  than  three 
hundred  (300)  feet  in  distance  apart,  and  not  less  than  three  (3)  in 
all,  notices  of  the  passage  of  said  ordinance.  When  an  assessment  dis- 
trict is  established  in  the  Ordinance  of  Intention,  such  notices  shall 
also  be  posted  along  the  streets  and  parts  of  streets  within  said  dis- 
trict and  not  more  than  three  hundred  (300)  feet  in  distance  apart. 
Said  notice  shall  be  headed  "Notice  of  Improvement"  in  letters  of  not 
less  than  one  (1)  inch  in  length  and  shall,  in  date  of  approval  and  the 
less  than  one  (1)  inch  in  length  and  shall,  in  legible  characters,  state 
the  fact  of  the  passage  of  the  ordinance,  its  date  of  approval  and  the 
notices  of  the  improvement  posted  at  least  ten  (10)  days  prior  to  the 
day  fixed  in  the  Ordinance  of  Intention  for  the  hearing  of  protests. 
The  posting  of  notices  shall  not  be  deemed  insufficient  when  there  has 
been  a  substantial  compliance  with  the  requirements  hereof  respecting 
their  location  and  distances  apart. 

Sec.  7.  PROTESTS  AND  HEARING.  No  protest  shall  be  con- 
sidered unless  in  writing  and  filed  with  the  City  Clerk  before  the  day 
fixed  for  the  hearing  of  protests  nor  shall  the  protest  of  any  property 
owner  be  considered  which  does  not  indicate  the  property  represented 
by  such  protestant.  When  protests  are  made  as  herein  provided,  the 
Council,  at  the  time  fixed  for  the  hearing  thereof  or  at  the  time  or 
times  to  which  such  hearing  may  be  adjourned,  shall  proceed  to  hear 
and  pass  upon  such  protests,  and  its  decision  shall  be  final  and  con- 
clusive; provided,  however,  that  when  a  protest  is  made  against  the 
purposed  improvement  and  the  Council  finds  that  it  is  made  by  the 
owners  of  a  majority  of  the  frontage  of  the  property  abutting  upon 
the  improvement  when  the  cost  thereof  is  not  assessable  upon  a  dis- 
trict, or,  when  the  cost  of  the  improvement  is  assessable  upon  a  dis- 
trict, that  it  is  made  by  the  owners  of  a  majority  of  the  frontage  of 
property  fronting  upon  the  improvement  and  upon  streets,  or  parts 
thereof,  within  the  assessment  district,  the  making  of  said  improve- 
ment shall  be  barred  for  a  period  of  six  (6)  months  from  the  date  at 
which  said  majority  protest  is  filed  unless  the  said  protest  be  over- 
ruled by  the  concurrent  vote  of  at  least  six  (6)  members  of  the 
Council.  The  determination  of  the  Council  may  be  made  by  motion. 

Sec.  8.  WHEN  JURISDICTION  ACQUIRED.  At  the  date  fixed 
for  the  hearing  of  protests  when  none  have  been  made,  or  when  made 
have  been  overruled  as  herein  provided,  immediately  thereupon,  the 


Council  shall  be  deemed  to  have  acquired  jurisdiction  to  order  the- 
proposed  improvement. 

Sec.  9.  ORDERING  IMPROVEMENT.  Having  acquired  jurisdic- 
tion, the  Council  shall,  by  ordinance,  order  that  the  improvement 
described  in  the  Ordinance  of  Intention  be  made.  The  ordinance 
need  not  describe  the  improvement  nor  the  assessment  district  when 
such  a  district  is  fixed  but  may  refer  to  the  Ordinance  of  Intention 
for  such  descriptions.  The  ordinance  shall  be  published  once,  in 
the  English  language,  in  a  newspaper  published  and  circulated  in  the 
City  of  Pasadena. 

Sec.  10.  NOTICE  CALLING  FOR  BIDS.  Upon  the  adoption  of 
the  ordinance  ordering  the  improvement,  the  Superintendent  of  Streets 
shall  cause  notice  to  be  posted  conspicuously  for  five  (5)  days  on  or 
near  the  Council  Chamber  door,  and  a  similar  notice  to  be  published 
for  five  (5)  days  in  a  newspaper  published  and  circulated  in  the  City 
of  Pasadena,  inviting  sealed  proposals  or  bids  for  making  the  improve- 
ment therein  ordered.  In  said  notice  it  shall  be  sufficient  to  refer  to 
the  Ordinance  of  Intention  for  a  description  of  the  improvement  and 
for  all  particulars  concerning  the  same.  The  time  within  which 
proposals  or  bids  may  be  presented  shall  be  specified  in  the  notice. 
The  notice  shall  also  specify  the  time,  to  be  fixed  by  the  Superin- 
tendent of  Streets,  within  which  the  improvement  shall  be  completed. 

Sec.  11.  BIDDER  TO  FURNISH  CERTIFIED  CHECK  AND  TO 
SPECIFY  PRICES  FOR  DIFFERENT  CLASSES  OF  IMPROVEMENT. 
No  proposal  or  bid  shall  be  considered  unless  accompanied  by  a  check 
payable  to  the  order  of  the  Mayor  of  the  city,  certified  by  a  responsible 
bank,  for  an  amount  which  shall  not  be  less  than  ten  (10)  per  cent  of 
the  aggregate  of  the  proposal  or  bid.  If  the  successful  bidder  shall 
not  enter  into  a  contract  as  hereinafter  provided,  then  the  certified 
check  accompanying  his  bid  shall  thereby  become  forfeited  to  the 
city  and  be  collected  by  it.  All  checks  other  than  those  of  the  suc- 
cessful bidder  shall  be  returned.  When  the  improvement  embraces 
different  classes  of  work  proposals  or  bids  shall  specify  the  price 
at  which  each  of  the  respective  classes  of  work  will  be  done.  All 
proposals  or  bids  shall  be  delivered  to  the  City  Clerk  and  the  Council 
in  open  session  shall  examine  and  declare  the  same. 

Sec.  12.  AWARD  OF  CONTRACT.  The  contract  shall  be  awarded 
to  the  bidder  proposing  and  offering  to  make  the  improvement  at 
the  lowest  aggregate  price;  provided,  however,  that  the  Council  may 
reject  all  proposals  or  bids  and  readvertise  in  the  manner  provided 
for  advertisement  in  the  first  instance;  also,  when  on  bids  or  proposals 
are  received  they  may  be  readvertised  for  as  in  the  first  instance. 
The  award  of  contract  may  be  made  by  motion. 

Sec.  13.  NOTICE  OF  AWARD.  Notice  of  the  award  of  any  con- 
tract hereunder  shall  be  posted  conspicuously  on  or  near  the  Council 
Chamber  door  for  five  (5)  days  and  published  for  five  (5)  days  in  a 
newspaper  published  and  circulated  in  the  City  of  Pasadena.  Such 
notice  shall  refer  to  the  ordinance  of  Intention  and  shall  state  the 
name  of  the  person,  firm  or  corporation  to  whom  or  which  the  con- 
tract is  awarded  and  the  price  or  prices  at  which  awarded. 

Sec.  14.  WAIVER  OF  OBJECTIONS.  At  any  time  within  ten  (10) 
days  from  the  date  of  the  first  publication  of  the  notice  of  award  of 
contract,  any  owner  of,  or  other  person  having  any  interest  in,  any 
lot  liable  to  assessment,  who  claims  that  any  of  the  previous  acts  or 
proceedings  relating  to  the  improvement  for  which  the  contract  was 
awarded  are  irregular,  defective,  erroneous  or  faulty,  may  file  with 
the  City  Clerk  a  written  notice  specifying  in  what  respects  said  acts 
and  proceedings  are  irregular,  defective,  erroneous  or  faulty.  If,, 
in  the  opinion  of  the  Council,  any  such  specification  is  well  taken,  it 
may  abandon  all  proceedings  in  the  matter  of  the  improvement  to  a 
point  prior  to  the  step  in  said  proceedings  in  which  the  irregularity, 
defect,  error  or  fault  specified,  occurred,  and  proceed  from  such  point 
as  in  the  first  instance,  or  if,  in  the  opinion  of  the  Council,  said  speci- 
fication is  not  well  taken,  it  may  reject  the  same.  All  objections  to 
any  act  or  proceeding  prior  to  the  date  of  the  said  notice  of  award,  in 
relation  to  said  improvement,  not  made  in  writing  and  in  the  manner 
and  at  the  time  in  this  section  provided,  shall  be  waived,  excepting.

the  said  improvement. 

Sec.  15.  SUCCESSFUL  BIDDER  TO  ENTER  INTO  CONTRACT. 
Within  five  (5)  days  after  the  expiration  of  the  ten  (10)  days  for  filing 
objections,  as  provided  in  Section  14  hereof,  when  no  objections  are 
filed,  or  when  objections  are  filed  and  rejected  by  the  Council,  within 
five  (5)  days  from  the  date  of  such  rejection,  the  successful  bidder 
shall  enter  into  a  contract  in  the  manner  and  form  hereinafter  pro- 
vided to  make  said  improvement  at  the  prices  specified  in  his  bid. 
If  said  bidder  neglects,  fails  or  refuses  to  enter  into  such  a  contract 
within  said  period  then  the  Council,  without  further  proceedings,  shall 
again  advertise  for  proposals  or  bids  as  in  the  first  instance,  and  award 
the  contract  for  said  improvement  to  the  then  lowest  regular  bidder. 

Sec.  16.  BOND.  The  contractor  shall,  at  the  time  of  executing 
any  contract  for  any  improvement  hereunder,  execute  a  bond  to  the 
satisfaction  and  approval  of  the  Superintendent  of  Streets  with  two 
or  more  sureties,  and  payable  to  the  city  in  such  sum  as  the  Mayor 
shall  deem  adequate  and  not  to  exceed  fifty  (50)  per  cent  of  the  aggre- 
gate amount  of  his  bid,  conditioned  for  the  faithful  performance  of 
the  contract,  and  the  sureties  shall  justify  before  some  person  com- 
petent to  administer  an  oath  in  the  aggregate  in  a  sum  double  the 
amount  mentioned  in  said  bond  over  and  above  all  statutory  exemp- 
tions. 

Sec.  17.  BOND  FOR  PROTECTION  OF  LABORERS  AND  MA- 
TERIAL MEN.  Every  contractor  to  whom  is  awarded  any  contract 
for  making  an  improvement  ordered  hereunder  shall,  before  executing 
the  said  contract,  file  with  the  Superintendent  of  Streets  a  good  and 
sufficient  bond,  approved  by  the  Mayor,  in  a  sum  not  less  than  one- 
half  of  the  aggregate  amount  payable  by  the  terms  of  said  contract. 
Such  bond  shall  be  executed  by  the  principal  and  at  least  two  sureties, 
who  shall  qualify  for  double  the  sum  specified  in  said  bond,  and  shall  be 
made  to  inure  to  the  benefit  of  any  and  all  persons,  companies  or  cor- 
porations who  perform  labor  on,  or  furnish  materials  to  be  used  in  the 
said  improvement,  and  shall  provide  that  if  the  contractor,  person, 
company  or  corporation  to  whom  said  contract  was  awarded  fails  to 
pay  for  any  materials  so  furnished  for  the  said  improvement,  or  for 
any  work  or  labor  done  thereon  of  any  kind,  that  the  sureties  will 
pay  the  same,  to  an  amount  not  exceeding  the  sum  specified  in  said 
bond.  Any  materialman,  person,  company  or  corporation,  furnishing 
materials  to  be  used  in  the  performance  of  the  work  specified  in  said 
contract,  or  who  performed  work  or  labor  upon  the  said  improvement, 
whose  claim  has  not  been  paid  by  the  said  contractor,  person,  com- 
pany or  corporation  to  whom  the  said  contract  was  awarded,  may, 
within  thirty  (30)  days  from  the  time  said  improvement  is  completed,

its  claim,  together  with  a  statement  that  the  same,  or  some  part  there- 
of, has  not  been  paid.  At  any  time  within  ninety  days  after  the  filing  of 
such  claim,  the  person,  company  or  corporation  filing  the  same  or  his 
or  its  assigns  may  commence  an  action  on  said  bond  for  the  recovery 
of  the  amount  due  on  said  claim,  together  with  the  costs  incurred 
in  said  action  and  a  reasonable  attorney's  fee,  to  be  fixed  by  the 
court,  for  the  prosecution  thereof. 

Sec.  18.  CONTRACTS  AND  LIABILITY  AND  WORK  THERE- 
UNDER. All  contracts  for  improvements  hereunder  shall  be  made 
by  the  Superintendent  of  Streets  in  his  official  capacity.  In  such 
contracts  there  shall  be  specified  the  time  for  the  completion  of  the 
improvement  which  shall  conform  to  the  time  for  completion  fixed 
in  the  notice  calling  for  bids.  Work  under  the  contract  must  in  all 
cases  be  done  under  the  direction  and  be  completed  to  the  satisfac- 
tion of  the  Superintendent  of  Streets  and  the  materials  used  shall 
comply  with  the  specifications  and  all  contracts  shall  so  provide.  In 
no  case,  except  where  otherwise  herein  specifically  provided,  shall  the 
city  or  any  officer  thereof  be  liable  for  the  cost  of  any  improvement 
made  pursuant  to  proceedings  hereunder,  nor  for  any  delinquency  of 
persons  or  property  assessed  and  every  contract  for  improvement 
made  hereunder  shall  contain  an  express  provision  to  this  effect.  The 
Superintendent  of  Streets  may,  with  the  consent  of  the  Council,  ex- 
tend the  time  for  the  completion  of  the  improvement  subject  to  such 

11 


penalty,  if  any,  as  the  Council  in  its  discretion  may  fix  when  consent- 
ing to  such  extension  of  time,  such  penalty  to  be  deducted  from  and 
to  reduce  accordingly  the  contract  price. 

Sec.  19.  DIAGRAM  AND  CERTIFICATE  OF  CITY  ENGINEER. 
Before  the  making  of  the  assessment  by  the  Superintendent  of  Streets, 
the  City  Engineer  shall  prepare  for  and  deliver  to  the  said  Superin- 
tendent of  Streets,  a  diagram  showing  the  location  of  the  improve- 
ment and  of  each  lot  fronting  thereupon,  each  thereof  being  given  a 
separate  number,  and  also  showing  the  number  of  feet  in  each  lot 
fronting  upon  such  improvement.  When  the  cost  of  the  improvement 
is  to  be  assessed  upon  a  district  fixed  in  the  Ordinance  of  Intention 
such  digram  shall  show  the  location  of  the  improvement  and  each  lot 
in  said  district,  each  thereof  being  given  a  separate  number,  and 
also  show  the  dimensions  of  each  said  lots  in  the  district.  Lots  owned 
by  the  city  and  devoted  to  a  public  use  shall  be  indicated  upon  the  dia- 
gram. The  City  Engineer  shall  certify  upon  the  said  diagram  the 
quantity  of  work  done  in  the  proceeding. 

Sec.  20.  APPORTIONMENT  OF  THE  COST  OF  IMPROVE- 
MENTS. The  cost  of  the  improvement  made  in  any  proceeding  here- 
under  shall  include  the  amount  due  under  the  contract  therefor,  to- 
gether with  all  the  incidental  expenses  incurred  in  the  preceeding 
under  which  made.  It  shall  not  include  the  cost  of  any  work  done  in 
such  portion  of  any  street  as  is  required  by  law  to  be  kept  in  order 
or  repair  by  any  person  or  company  maintaining  railroad  tracks 
therein.  Such  cost,  except  the  portion  thereof  by  Section  4  of  Ar- 
ticle IX  of  the  Charter  required  to  be  paid  by  the  city,  shall  be  as- 
sessed upon  the  property  (including  the  property  of  any  railroad  or 
street  railroad)  benefited  by  the  improvement,  as  herein  provided. 

(a)  Whenever    the   Council,    in   its    Ordinance   of   Intention,    de- 
clares the  improvement  to  be  of  more  than  local  or  ordinary  public 
benefit  and   establishes   an   assessment  district   to  bear  the   cost   of 
the  improvement,  then  the  cost  of  the  improvement  (except  the  por- 
tion thereof  required  to  be  paid  by  the  city)   shall  be  assessed  upon 
the  several  lots  in  said  assessment  district,  as  follows,  to-wit:     Upon 
each,  respectively,  in  proportion  to  the  estimated  benefits  to  be  re- 
ceived by  each  of  said  several  lots. 

(b)  In  all  other  cases  the  cost  of  the  improvement  (except  the 
portion  thereof  required  to  be  paid  by  the  city)    shall  be  assessed 
upon    the    lots    fronting    upon    the    improvement    as    follows,    to-wit: 
Upon  each  lot  fronting  upon  said  improvement,  respectively,  in  pro- 
portion to  the  frontage  at  a  rate  per  front  foot  sufficient  to  cover  the 
total  cost  of  the  improvement  so  assessable;  provided,  that  whenever 
any  improvement  in  front  of  any  lot  shall  have  been  made,  previous 
to  the  passage  of  the  Ordinance  of  Intention,  and  the  Council,  in  or- 
dering the  improvement,  excepts  therefrom  the  improvement  already 
so  made,  then  and  in  that  case,  the  lot  in  front  of  which  said  improve- 
ment has  been  made,  shall  not  be  included  in  the  frontage  assessment 
for  the  class  of  improvement  from  which  such   exception   is   made; 
and  provided,  further,  that  the  cost  of  the  construction  of  any  side- 
walk or  curb   or  gutter    (except  the  portion  thereof  required   to  be 
paid  by  the  city)  shall  be  assessed  upon  the  lots  fronting  thereon  on 
the  same  side  of  the  street  where  the  same  shall  be  constructed,  each 
lot  being  separately  assessed  in  proportion  to  the  frontage  at  a  rate  per 
front  foot  sufficient  to  cover  the  cost  of  the  improvement  so  assessable. 

Sec.  21.  ASSESSMENT.  Upon  the  completion  of  the  improve- 
ment to  the  satisfaction  of  the  Superintendent  of  Streets,  the  said 
Superintendent  of  Streets  shall  proceed  to  assess  the  cost  thereof  in 
conformity  with  the  provisions  of  Section  20  hereof,  according  to  the 
character  of  the  improvement  made.  The  assessment  shall  briefly 
refer  to  the  improvement  contracted  for  and  made,  and  shall  show 
the  amount  to  be  paid  therefor  under  the  contract  and  any  incidental 
expenses,  the  amount  of  the  cost  of  the  improvement  to  be  paid  by 
the  city  under  the  provisions  of  Section  4  of  Article  IX  of  the  Charter, 
the  name  of  the  owner  of  each  lot  assessed,  (when  the  name  of  the 
owner  is  unknown  the  assessment  may  be  made  to  unknown  owners), 
the  number  of  each  lot  assessed,  which  number  shall  correspond  with 
the  number  on  the  diagram  by  Section  19  hereof  required  to  be  made 

12 


and  the  amount  assessed  against  each  lot  respectively.  When  the 
assessment  against  any  lot  is  for  various  classes  of  improvement,  the 
portion  thereof  pertaining  to  each  class  shall  be  separately  stated. 
The  diagram  referred  to  in  Section  19  hereof  shall  be  attached  to  the 
assessment.  The  assessment  shall  be  entered  in  a  substantial  book 
appropriately  designated  and  kept  among  the  records  of  the  Super- 
intendent of  Streets. 

Sec.  22.  NOTICE  OF  COMPLETION  OF  ASSESSMENT  AND 
HEARING.  Upon  the  completion  of  the  assessment,  the  Superin- 
tendent of  Streets  shall  notify  the  Council  to  that  effect.  The  Coun- 
cil shall  thereupon  fix  a  time  when  it  will  hear  and  pass  upon  the 
assessment  and  the  proceedings  thereto,  and  all  appeals  respecting 
the  said  assessment  and  said  proceedings.  Notice  thereof  shall  be 
given  by  publication  for  five  (5)  days  in  a  newspaper  published  and 
circulated  in  the  City  of  Pasadena.  The  time  of  hearing  shall  not  be 
less  than  fifteen  (15)  days  from  the  date  of  the  first  publication  of 
the  notice. 

Sec.  23.  HEARING  AND  CONFIRMATION  OF  ASSESSMENT. 
Any  person  affected  by,  or  having  any  objection  of  whatsoever  nature 
to,  the  assessment  or  any  of  the  proceedings  thereto  or  work  done  or 
determinations  made  therein,  may  appeal  to  the  Council  as  herein 
provided.  An  appeal  shall  be  effected  by  filing  with  the  City  Clerk, 
prior  to  the  day  fixed  for  the  hearing  of  the  assessment,  a  written 
notice  briefly  specifying  the  grounds  of  appeal.  At  the  time  fixed 
for  the  hearing  upon  the  assessment,  or  at  the  time  or  times  to  which 
such  hearing  may  be  adjourned,  the  Council  shall  consider  said  as- 
sessment and  hear  and  pass  upon  all  appeals  respecting  the  same,  or 
proceedings  thereto,  and  may  remedy  and  correct  any  error,  irregu- 
larity, defect  or  informality  in  the  proceedings,  and  revise  and  cor- 
rect any  of  the  acts  or  determinations  of  the  Superintendent  of  Streets 
relative  to  said  improvement,  and  may  make  any  order  in  the  premises 
which  to  it  shall  seem  just  and  proper.  When  no  appeal  is  taken, 
or  when  the  orders  and  determinations  of  the  Council  upon  appeal 
have  been  complied  with,  and  the  Council  is  satisfied  with  the  correct- 
ness and  legality  of  the  assessment,  it  shall,  by  ordinance,  confirm  the 
assessment,  and  its  judgment  therein  shall  be  final  and  conclusive 
upon  all  persons  entitled  to  appeal  under  the  provisions  of  this  section 
as  to  all  errors,  defects,  informalities  and  irregularities  not  directly 
affecting  the  jurisdiction  of  the  Council  to  order  the  improvement.

ORDINANCE   NO.   1178. 


Ah  Ordinance  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  Regulating  the  Making  of  Street 
Improvements  Under  Private  Contract. 


The  Mayor  and  City  Council  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  do  ordain  as 
follows : 

Section  1.  It  shall  be  unlawful  for  any  person,  as  principal,  agent 
or  contractor,  to  make  any  improvement  in  any  of  the  streets  of  the 
City  of  Pasadena,  by  or  under  private  contract,  unless  permission  from 
the  City  Council  therefor  is  first  secured  and  unless  the  deposit  herein 
provided  for  is  made.  The  term  "improvement,"  as  herein  used,  shall 
be  deemed,  and  is  hereby  declared,  to  include  the  grading  or  regrad- 
ing,  the  macadamizing  or  remacadamizing,  the  graveling  or  regravel- 
ing,  the  oiling  or  reoiling  of  any  street,  or  the  construction  or  recon- 
struction in  any  street  of  sewers,  sidewalks,  crosswalks,  curbs  or 
gutters. 

Sec.  2.  Any  permission  granted  by  the  City  Council  for  the  mak- 
ing of  any  such  improvement,  by  or  under  private  contract,  shall  be 
deemed  to  have  been  made  subject  to  the  terms  of  this  ordinance. 
Before  any  such  permission  shall  become  effective  for  any  purpose, 
there  shall  be  deposited  with  the  Superintendent  of  Streets  such  sum 
as  he  may  estimate  to  be  necessary  to  cover  the  cost  of  inspection 
and  supervision  by  the  City  of  said  improvement.  Said  improvement 
shall  be  made  under  the  direction,  and  to  the  satisfaction,  of  the  Super- 
intendent of  Streets.  Upon  its  acceptance  by  him,  he  shall  deduct  from 
the  deposit  made,  as  herein  required,  the  cost  to  the  City  of  inspec- 
tion and  supervision  thereof,  and  the  remainder  of  such  deposit,  if 
there  be  any,  shall  be  returned  to  the  person  making  the  same  upon 
demands  approved,  audited  and  allowed,  as  in  the  case  of  other 
demands  against  the  City.  In  the  event  that  the  estimated  amount 
of  the  cost  of  inspection  and  supervision  of  said  improvement  shall 
prove  to  be  insufficient,  the  Superintendent  of  Streets  may  cause  the 
work  of  making  such  improvements  to  be  stopped  until  such  addi- 
tional sum  is  deposited  as  will  cover  said  cost,  in  which  case  it  shall 
be  unlawful  to  continue  with  the  same  until  such  additional  sum  is 
deposited. 

The  Superintendent  of  Streets  shall  be  given  at  least  twenty-four 
hours'  notice  in  writing  of  the  time  of  commencement  of  the  work 
of  making  any  improvement,  permission  to  make  which  is  granted 
hereunder,  in  order  that  he  may  procure  and  assign  an  inspector  to 
inspect  the  same;  and  it  shall  be  unlawful  for  any  person  as  principal, 
agent  or  contractor  to  commence  any  such  work,  until  after  twenty- 
four  (24)  hours'  notice  in  writing  has  been  given  to  the  Superintendent 
of  Streets,  stating  the  time  at  which  such  work  will  be  commenced. 

Sec.  3.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  Superintendent  of  Streets  to 
cause  such  improvements  made  by  or  under  private  contract  to  be 
duly  inspected  and  supervised  during  the  progress  of  the  work  there- 
upon and  to  cause  to  be  kept  a  just  and  true  account  of  the  cost  of 
inspection  and  supervision  of  such  improvement;  and  otherwise  to 
carry  out  the  provisions  of  this  ordinance. 

Sec.  4.  Any  person,  as  principal,  agent  or  contractor,  who  shall 
violate  any  of  the  provisions  of  this  ordinance,  shall  be  deemed  guilty 
of  a  misdemeanor  and  upon  conviction  thereof  shall  be  punishable  by 
a  fine  of  not  to  exceed  One  Hundred  Dollars  ($100)  or  by  imprison- 
ment in  the  city  jail  for  a  period  not  to  exceed  Thirty  (30)  days,  or 
by  both  such  fine  and  imprisonment. 

Sec.  5.     The  City  Clerk  shall  certify  to  the  adoption  of  this  ordi- 

26 


nance  and  cause  the  same  to  be  published  once  in  the  Pasadena  Daily 
News. 

I  hereby  certify  that  the  foregoing  ordinance  was  adopted  by  the 
City  Council  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  at  its  meeting  held  January  13th,

,  .Ordinances  Adopting  Specifications. 


..   .    ORDINANCE   NO.  281. 
An  Ordinance  Adopting  General  Specifications  for  Sewers. 

The  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  do  ordain  as  follows : 
Section  1.     That  the  following  be  and  they  are  hereby  adopted  as 
and  for  the  general  specifications  for  the  sewers  to  be  constructed 
within  said  City  of  Pasadena: 

PIPE. 

All  pipe  shall  be  of  the  first  quality  vitrified,  salt-glazed  sewer  pipe, 
sound  and  well  burned  throughout  their  entire  thickness,  impervious  to 
moisture,  of  smooth  and  well  glazed  exterior  and  interior  surfaces,  free 
from  cracks,  flaws,  blisters,  fire  checks,  and  all  other  imperfections, 
circular  in  bore,  varying  from  a  true  circle  not  more  than  one-twelfth 
of  an  inch  for  every  three  inches  in  diameter,  of  true  form  in  their 
length,  whether  straight  or  curved,  internally  of  the  exact  specified 
diameter,  and  of  uniform  standard  thickness. 

SOCKET  JUNCTIONS. 

All  pipes  shall  be  socket  pipes,  with  true  and  circular  sockets 
concentric  with  the  bore  of  the  pipe,  and  shall  be  furnished  in  pieces 
two  feet  in  length.  For  all  junction  pieces,  a  well  fitted  stopper  shall 
be  furnished  without  charge. 

Y'S. 

All  "Y"  branches  shall  branch  under  forty-five  degrees,  except 
when  otherwise  specified,  or  shown  on  special  drawings.  The  pipes 
shall  be  inspected  on  the  line  of  the  work,  and  all  pipes  rejected  shall 
be  immediately  removed  from  the  work. 

TRENCHES. 

The  ground  shall  be  excavated  in  open  trenches  to  the  necessary 
width  and  depth.  These  trenches  shall  be  one  foot  wider  on  each  side 
than  the  exterior  diameter  of  the  sewer.  Whenever  the  nature  of  the 
ground  will  admit  of  it,  the  bottom  of  the  excavation  must  conform 
exactly  to  the  outside  of  the  lower  half  of  the  sewer.  Before  any 
pipe  or  special  is  put  into  place  a  small  excavation  must  be  made 
in  the  previously  graded  trench,  to  receive  the  hub,  so  that  each  pipe 
will  have  a  firm  and  uniform  bearing  upon  said  graded  bottom,  over 
virtually  its  entire  length.  All  adjustment  of  the  pipe,  to  line  and 
grade,  must  be  done  by  scraping  away  or  filling  in  the  earth  under 
the  body  of  the  pipe,  and  not  by  blocking  or  wedging  r^  the  hub. 

PUMPING. 

The  contractor  shall,  at  his  own  expense,  pump  out  or  otherwise 
remove  any  water  or  sewage  whieh  may  be  found,  or  shall  accumulate 
in  the  trench,  and  he  shall  construct  all  pumps,  dr/iins,  dams,  flumes 
or  other  works  necessary  for  keeping  the  excavation  clean  of  water 
during  the  progress  of  the  work.  In  no  case  shall  any  pipe  be  laid 
or  sewer  work  done  under  or  in  water.  Should  there  be  any  water 
in  the  socket-holes  under  the  joints,  it  must  be  entirely  removed  with 
a  sponge,  and  any  earth  or  water  adhering  to  any  part  of  the  pipes 
where  the  mortar  is  to  be  applied  must  be  entirely  removed  before 
making  the  joints. 

SHORING. 

The  sides  of  the  excavation  shall  be  supported  with  suitable  sheet 
planking  and  bracing  whenever  necessary,  but  no  allowance  will  be 
made  therefor;  and  in  all  cases  the  sheet  piling  shall  be  drawn  as  the 
work  progresses  (unless  otherwise  permitted  by  the  written  order  of 
the  Street  Superintendent)  in  such  manner  as  to  prevent  the  caving 
in  of  the  sides  of  the  trench.  All  openings  shall  be  carefully  filled  and 
rammed. 

28 


SPOIL  BANKS. 

The  materials  excavated  shall  be  laid  compactly  on  the  side  of 
the  trench,  and  kept  trimmed  up  so  as  to  be  of  as  little  inconvenience 
as  possible  to  the  public  travel  or  the  adjoining  tenants.  In  case  the 
street  is  not  wide  enough  to  throw  the  earth  without  stopping  the  pas- 
sage way  on  the  sidewalk,  the  contractor  shall,  at  his  own  expense; 
erect  a  board  fence  and  keep  a  passage-way  of  six  feet  open  on  said 
sidewalk.  Free  access  must  be  left  to  all  hydrants  and  water  gates. 

BACK-FILLING. 

The  work  shall  be  back-filled  carefully,  and  sand  or  fine  grave) 
packed  and  rammed  under  and  around  the  sewer,  with  proper  tools; 
In  refilling  all  the  trenches  the  earth  shall  be  faithfully  rammed  with, 
paver's  rammers,  in  layers  not  exceeding  nine  inches  in  thickness,  or 
shall  be  settled  by  thoroughly  flooding  the  trench,  wherever  the  Street 
Superintendent  may  require  the  same  to  be  done;  and  where  the 
trenches  do  not  furnish  sufficient  material  of  the  proper  quality,  the 
contractor  shall  procure  and  supply  such  deficiency  at  his  own  cost 
and  expense. 

CEMENT. 

All  cement  used  shall  be  of  the  best  Portland  Cement. 
CEMENT  TESTS. 

The  Street  Superintendent  shall  make  or  cause  to  be  made,  any 
tests  that  may  be  desired  to  satisfy  him  (the  Street  Superintendent) 
as  to  the  strength  and  quality  of  the  cement  and  he  shajl  reject  any 
and  all  parcels  that  do  not  conform  to  these  tests. 

CEMENT  MORTAR. 

The  cement  mortar  shall  be  composed  of  one  part,  by  measure- 
ment, of  the  cement  above  mentioned,  and  two  parts  of  coarse,  clean, 
sharp  sand,  free  from  loam,  vegetable  matter,  silt  or  dirt.  If  the  Street 
Superintendent  deems  it  advisable  to  do  so,  the  sand  must  be  screened 
and  washed.  The  cement  and  sand  shall  be  carefully  mixed  dry,  the 
water  added,  and  the  mortar  made  fresh  for  the  work  in  hand. 

The  mortar  must  be  made  in  quantities  as  required.  All  mortar 
used  must  be  mixed  in  a  proper  water  tight  box,  and  in  no  case  upon 
the  pavement  or  ground.  No  mortar  shall  be  used  that  shows  evidence 
of  having  set,  that  has  been  left  over  night,  or  that  has  become  unfit 
for  good  work  from  standing  too  long  or  from  any  other  cause;  and 
no  remixing  of  mortar  will  be  allowed. 

CONCRETE. 

Concrete  shall  be  composed  of  one  part,  by  measurement,  of 
cement,  two  of  sand  and  five  of  gravel.  The  cement  and  sand  for 
concrete  must  be  of  the  same  quality  as  that  before  specified  for 
mortar.  The  gravel  shall  be  clean  and  hard,  of  good  quality,  varying 
in  size  from  that  which  will  pass  through  a  ring  two  inches  in  diameter 
to  that  of  a  pea.  All  concrete  is  to  be  thoroughly  mixed  dry  and 
turned  at  least  four  times  and  then  water  enough  added  to  make  a  stiff 
mass  and  turned  twice.  The  concrete  thus  prepared  shall  be  imme- 
diately placed  in  position  in  the  work  and  tamped  until  the  mortar 
flushes  the  surface.  No  concrete  shall  be  used  that  shows  evidence  of 
having  set,  that  has  become  unfit  for  good  work  from  standing  too 
long,  or  from  any  other  cause,  and  no  remixing  of  concrete  will  be 
allowed. 

BRICK  MASONRY. 

The  brick  masonry  shall  be  constructed  of  best  quality  of  hard 

burned  brick  and  laid  in  cement  mortar  of  the  quality  above  specified. 

The  bricks  are  to  be  thoroughly  wet  immediately  before  being  laid. 

Every  brick  is  to  have  full  cement  joints  under  bottom,  sides  and  ends. 

MANHOLES,  FLUSHTANKS. 

Manholes  and  flushtanks  shall  be  constructed  of  such  size  and  at 
such  places  as  may  be  indicated  upon  the  plans.  They  shall  be  built 
to  conform  to  the  plans  of  the  same  in  the  office  of  the  City  Engineer. 
All  walls  to  be  built  of  brick  eight  inches  thick.  In  all  cases  an  eight- 
inch  arch,  resting  on  a  sand  joint  of  one-half  inch  in  thickness  shall  be 
turned  over  the  pipes  entering  manholes  and  flushtanks;  but  the  pipes 

29 


entering  manholes  and  flushtanks  shall  not  be  set  or  laid  until  the 
foundation  of  the  manholes  or  flushtank  is  built  and  ready  to  receive 
thoroughly  cleaned,  and  in  dimensions,  weight  and  quality  of  iron,  and 
in  all  respects  in  conformity  with  the  plans  in  the  office  of  the  City 
Engineer,  are  to  be  fitted  to  the  above  described  manholes  and  flush- 
tanks.  The  insides  of  all  manholes  and  flushtanks  are  to  be  neatly 
plastered  with  cement  mortar  of  the  quality  above  described,  and  the 
joints  on  the  outside  are  to  be  flushed  full  with  mortar  and  neatly 
struck.  The  inside  of  all  manholes  and  flushtanks  must  be  provided 
with  iron  bars,  three-quarters  of  an  inch  thick,  firmly  and  securely 
fastened  into  the  brick  wall,  fifteen  inches  apart,  as  indicated  on  the 
plan,  said  bars  to  be  used  as  steps.  All  manholes  and  flushtanks  shall 
be  provided  with  a  galvanized  iron  dust  pan,  as  shown  on  the  plans. 

MANHOLE  COVERS. 

Manhole  covers  must  weigh  at  least  300  pounds;  and  must  stand 
a  pressure,  when  applied  in  the  center,  of  not  less  than  ten  tons.  Must 
be  thoroughly  cleaned,  and  thoroughly  covered  with  tar  paint,  or 
asphalt,  and  must  pass  through  the  hands  of  the  inspector,  and  be 
accepted  and  marked  by  him  before  going  to  the  work.  The  covers 
are  to  conform  to  the  plans  on  file  in  the  office  of  the  City  Engineer. 

SPURS. 

Pipes  having  six-inch  spurs  with  hubs  moulded  thereon,  for  house 
connections,  shall  be  laid  at  such  point  as  the  Street  Superintendent 
may  direct.  The  "Y"  branches  and  dead  ends  of  all  pipes  to  be  closed 
with  earthenware  caps  and  the  space  above  the  caps  filled  with  pure 
sand,  covered  with  a  thin  coating  of  pure  cement  mortar,  the  sand 
underneath  to  be  wet  before  this  mortar  is  put  onto  it. 

MATCHING  AND  LAYING  PIPES. 

All  pipes,  previously  to  their  being  lowered  into  the  trench,  shall 
be  fitted  together  and  matched,  so  that  when  joined  in  the  trench  they 
may  form  a  smooth  and  true  line  of  tubes.  The  ends  of  the  pipe  when 
laid  in  the  sewer  shall  abut  against  each  other  in  such  manner  that 
there  shall  be  no  shoulder  or  unevenness  of  any  kind  along  the  bottom 
half  of  the  inside  of  the  sewer.  The  joint  will  then  be  completely  filled 
by  pressing  into  it  with  the  fingers  all  the  mortar  it  will  hold;  and  the 
mortar  will  then  be  neatly  beveled  off  from  the  outer  edge  of  the  hub 
to  the  sides  of  the  pipe,  especial  care  being  taken  to  secure  good  and 
proper  work  at  the  bottom  of  the  joint.  The  joints  of  all  pipes  are  to 
be  carefully  wiped  and  pointed,  inside  and  out,  with  cement  mortar 
and  all  mortar  that  may  be  left  inside  shall  be  thoroughly  cleaned  out 
and  the  pipe  left  clean  and  smooth. 

LINE  AND  GRADE. 

The  contractor  will  see  that  the  sewers  shall  be  laid  truly  in  line

The  Mayor  and  City  Council  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  do  ordain  as 
follows: 

Section  1.  That  the  general  specifications  for  street  grading  with 
natural  surface  in  the  City  of  Pasadena,  to  be  known  as  "Specifica- 
tions No.  7  for  grading  of  streets  with  natural  surface  in  the  City  of 
Pasadena,"  shall  be  as  herein  contained  and  are  hereby  as  such 
adopted. 

1st.  The  work  herein  provided  for  is  to  be  done  in  accordance 
with  the  plans,  profiles  and  cross-sections  on  file  in  the  office  of  the 
City  Engineer  of  the  City  of  Pasadena,  and  all  work  shall  during  its 
progress  and  on  its  completion,  conform  to  the  lines  and  levels  which 
may  from  time  to  time  be  given  by  the  City  Engineer  in  accordance 
therewith. 

GRADING. 

2nd.  Grading  shall  include  all  filling,  removal  of  all  earth,  stone 
or  other  material  of  whatsoever  nature  that  may  be  encountered  in 
preparing  the  street,  and  all  trimming,  shaping  or  other  work  that 
may  be  necessary  in  bringing  the  surface  of  the  street  to  the  required 
grade  and  cross-section.  When  mud  or  other  soft  material  is  en- 
countered it  shall  be  taken  out  and  the  space  refilled  with  good  earth 
or  gravel.  The  contractor  will  not  be  required  in  such  cases  to  exca- 
vate the  mud  or  other  soft  material  to  a  greater  depth  than  two  (2) 
feet  below  grade.  Fills  shall  consist  of  good  wholesome  earth  which 

32 


shall  be  deposited  in  layers  not  exceeding  one  (1)  foot  in  thickness, 
each  layer  to  be  separately  moistened  and  well  packed.  The  slopes 
of  embankments  shall  be  trimmed  as  they  are  carried  up.  The  walks 
shall  be  raked  free  of  stone  and,  in  case  of  a  fill,  shall  be  moistened 
and  rolled.  After  the  roadway  has  been  brought  to  the  required  grade 
and  cross-section  as  above  specified,  the  surface  shall  be  rolled  with  a 
roller  weighing  not  less  than  six  (6)  tons  until  the  surface  is  unyield- 
ing. The  City  of  Pasadena  will  furnish  a  roller  to  the  contractor  free 
of  cost  but  the  contractor  will  be  required  to  pay  for  the  services  of 
the  man  operating  the  roller,  also  for  the  fuel  used. 

Depressions  made  by  roiling  shall  be  filled  with  good  earth  and 
again  rolled.  Such  portions  of  the  street  as  cannot  be  reached  by  the 
roller  and  all  places  excavated  below  grade,  and  refilled,  and  all  pipe 
trenches  and  other  places  that  cannot  be  properly  compacted  by  the 
roller  shall  be  tamped  solid,  and  in  case  of  wet  weather  or  muddy 
ground  making  the  use  of  the  roller  unsafe  or  impracticable  the  rolling 
shall  not  be  undertaken  until  the  ground  has  become  sufficiently  dry.

City  Engineer,  and  any  expense  in  replacing  said  monuments  or  stakes, 
which  the  contractor  or  his  subordinates  may  have  failed  to  preserve, 
shall  be  borne  by  the  contractor. 

Any  overseer,  superintendent,  laborer,  or  other  person  employed 
on  the  work  by  the  contractor,  who  shall  perform  his  work  in  a  manner

such  person  shall  not  again  be  employed  on  the  work.  All  loss  or 
damage  arising  from  any  unforeseen  obstruction  or  difficulties  which 
may  be  encountered  in  the  prosecution  of  the  work,  or  from  the  action 
of  the  elements,  or  from  any  act  or  omission  not  authorized  by  these 
specifications  on  the  part  of  the  contractor,  or  any  person  or  agent 
employed  by  him,  before  final  acceptance  of  the  work,  shall  be  sus- 
tained by  the  contractor. 

No  work  which  may  be  defective  in  its  construction,  or  deficient 
in  any  of  the  requirements  of  these  specifications,  will  be  considered 
as  accepted  in  consequence  of  the  failure  of  any  officer  of  the  City  or 
inspector  connected  with  the  work,  to  point  out  said  defects  or  defi- 
ciency during  construction,  and  the  contractor  shall  be  required  to

open  passage  ways,  and  protecting  the  same  by  erecting  a  fence  or 
proper  barrier  along  the  line  of  the  work  and  across  the  ends  of  same,

The  gravel  or  broken  rock  shall  be  of  hard,  durable  material  and 
shall  have  sizes  ranging  from  the  size  of  a  pea  minimum  to  that  which 
will  pass  through  a  two  and  one-half  (2%)  inch  ring  maximum.  All 
sand,  gravel  or  crushed  rock  used  in  construction  shall  be  dumped 
on  planks,  in  separate  piles  not  exceeding  two  loads. 

All  concrete  shall  be  mixed  by  skilled  workmen  on  a  proper 
water-tight  platform.  The  materials  shall  be  thoroughly  mixed  and 
incorporated  while  dry  so  as  to  form  a  homogeneous  mixture  of  the 
ingredients,  then  the  water  shall  be  added  in  such  quantities  as  to 
produce  a  uniformly  and  thoroughly  wet  mass,  but  not  enough  so  as 
to  produce  a  slush.  While  being  wetted  the  whole  mass  shall  be 
turned  over  at  least  twice  more.  No  concrete  shall  be  used  that  shows 
evidence  of  having  set,  that  has  become  unfit  for  good  work  from 
standing  too  long,  or  from  any  other  cause,  and  no  remixing  of  con- 
crete will  be  allowed.  The  concrete  thus  prepared  shall  be  placed 
upon  the  foundation  and  shall  be  at  least  three  (3)  inches  in  thick- 
ness after  having  been  thoroughly  tamped  until  water  appears  upon 
the  surface. 

On  this  concrete  base,  before  developing  initial  set,  shall  be  placed 
a  finishing  coat  one-half  (l/2)  in  thick,  composed  of  one  (1)  part  (by 
measure)  of  cement  and  two  (2)  parts  (by  measure)  of  sand  of  the 
same  quality  as  heretofore  specified  for  concrete.  The  surface  of  the 
finishing  coat  shall  be  smoothly  polished  and  marked  off  into  blocks 
not  more  than  three  (3)  feet  square. 

A  sufficient  quantity  of  lamp  black  shall  be  mixed  with  the 
finishing  coat  to  give  it  a  dark  slate  color. 

Strips  at  least  three  and  one-half  (3%)  inches  wide  shall  be  used 
as  rules  during  construction. 

The  sidewalk  shall  be  protected  from  the  sun  and  thoroughly 
watered  for  ten  (10)  days  after  completion. 

CEMENT  TESTS. 

5th.  The  cement  tests  for  all  cement  work,  under  the  specifica- 
tions contained  in  this  ordinance,  shall  be  made  in  accordance  with 
the  methods  proposed  by  the  Committee  of  Uniform  Tests  of  Cement

ORDINANCE   NO.  977. 


An  Ordinance  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  Adopting  Specifications  for  the 
Construction  of  Vitrified  Brick  Pavement  and  Gutters  in  the  City 
of  Pasadena. 


The  Mayor  and  City  Council  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  do  ordain  as 
follows : 

Section  1.  That  the  specifications  for  the  construction  of  vitrified 
brick  pavement  and  gutters  in  the  City  of  Pasadena,  to  be  known  as 
"SPECIFICATIONS  NO.  12  FOR  THE  CONSTRUCTION  OF  VITRI- 
FIED BRICK  PAVEMENT  AND  GUTTERS  IN  THE  CITY  OF  PASA- 
DENA," shall  be  as  herein  and  are  hereby  as  such  adopted: 

(1) 

The  work  herein  provided  for  is  to  be  done  in  accordance 
with  the  plans,  profiles  and  cross-sections  on  file  in  the  office  of  the 
City  Engineer  of  the  City  of  Pasadena,  and  all  work  shall,  during  its 
progress  and  on  its  completion,  conform  to  the  lines  and  levels  which 
may  from  time  to  time  be  given  by  the  City  Engineer,  in  accordance 
therewith. 

(2) 

WORK. 

The  work  to  be  done  is  as  follows: 
1st.     To  excavate  or  fill  in  the  area  upon  which  the  pavement 

43 


herein  provided  for  is  to  be  constructed,  to  such  an  extent  as  may 
be  required  by  the  plans,  profiles,  cross-sections  and  specifications. 

2nd.    To  lay  thereon  the  pavement  hereinafter  specified. 

3rd.    To  furnish  all  materials  necessary  to  perform  said  work. 

4th.    To  do  whatever  else  is  required  by  these  specifications. 

(3) 
SUB-GRADE. 

The  sub-grade  shall  be  parallel  to  and  nine  and  one-half  (9%) 
inches  below  the  surface  of  the  finished  work. 

(4) 
GRADING. 

Grading  shall  include  the  removal  of  all  earth,  stone,  and  all 
other  materials  that  may  be  encountered  and  shall  include  also  all 
filling,  trimming,  or  other  work  that  may  be  necessary  in  bringing  the 
surface  to  the  required  sub-grade. 

When  mud,  sand  or  other  soft  material  below  sub-grade  is 
encountered,  it  shall  be  taken  out  and  the  space  refilled  with  good 
earth  or  gravel,  which  shall  be  rolled  until  the  surface  of  the  founda- 
tion ceases  to  sink  under  or  creep  in  front  of  the  roller.  The  con- 
tractor, however,  shall  not  be  required  in  such  cases  to  excavate  the 
mud  or  other  soft  material  to  a  greater  depth  than  two  (2)  feet  below 
sub-grade. 

After  a  section  has  been  graded  as  above  specified  it  shall  be 
watered  sufficiently  for  the  moisture  to  penetrate  all  the  loose  earth 
and  the  surface  shall  then  be  either  thoroughly  tamped  or  rolled  with 
a  roller  having  an  effective  compressive  weight  of  not  less  than  250 
pounds  to  the  lineal  inch  of  tire,  until  the  surface  is  firm  and  unyield- 
ing. Depressions  made  by  rolling  shall  be  leveled  up  with  good  earth 
and  again  rolled.  All  pipe  trenches  and  other  places  that  cannot  be 
properly  compacted  by  the  roller,  shall  be  tamped  solid,  and  in  cases 
of  wet  weather  or  soft  or  muddy  ground,  making  the  use  of  the  roller 
unsafe  and  impracticable,  the  rolling  shall  not  be  undertaken  until 
the  ground  has  become  sufficiently  dry. 

The  contractor  shall  notify  the  Superintendent  of  Streets  when  a 
section  has  been  brought  to  sub-grade,  when  the  latter  will  check 
the  elevation  of  the  same,  and  if  the  work  is  found  to  be  in  accordance 
with  the  specifications  and  grades  given,  the  contractor  shall  proceed 
as  hereinafter  mentioned: 

(5) 
CONCRETE  BASE. 

Upon  the  sub-grade  prepared  as  above  specified  and  thoroughly 
dampened,  shall  be  laid  the  concrete  base  prepared  as  hereinafter 
provided,  and  composed  of  the  following  materials: 

One  (1)  part  (by  measure)  of  Portland  cement; 

Three  (3)  parts  (by  measure)  of  sand; 

Six  (6)  parts,  by  measure,  of  broken  stone. 

The  cement  shall  be  the  best  Portland  cement  and  shall  be 
delivered  in  suitable  packages  with  brand  and  name  of  manufac- 
turer plainly  marked  thereon.  A  bag  of  cement  shall  contain  ninety- 
four  (4)  pounds  of  cement  net.  Each  barrel  of  Portland  cement  shall 
contain  four  (4)  bags  of  the  above  net  weight. 

The  sand  shall  be  clean,  sharp  and  free  from  ioam,  vegetable 
matter,  silt  and  dirt. 

The  broken  stone  shall  be  of  hard,  durable  material  and  shall 
have  sizes  ranging  from  the  size  of  a  pea  minimum  to  that  which  will 
pass  through  a  three  (3)  inch  ring  maximum.  All  sand  and  crushed 
stone  used  in  construction  shall  be  dumped  on  planks. 

Unless  a  concrete  mixer  is  used  the  concrete  shall  be  mixed  by 
skilled  workmen  on  a  proper  water-tight  platform.  The  materials  shall 
be  thoroughly  mixed  and  incorporated  while  dry  so  as  to  form  a 
homogeneous  mixture  of  the  ingredients,  then  the  water  shall  be  added 
in  such  quantities  as  to  produce  a  uniformly  and  thoroughly  wet 
mass,  but  not  enough  so  as  to  produce  a  slush.  While  being  wetted 
the  whole  mass  shall  be  turned  over  at  least  twice  more.  No  concrete 
shall  be  used  that  shows  evidence  of  having  set,  or  that  has  become 

44 


unfit  for  good  work  from  standing  too  long,  or  from  any  other  cause, 
and  no  remixing  of  concrete  will  be  allowed. 

The  concrete  thus  prepared  shall  be  immediately  spread  upon 
the  foundation  and  thoroughly  tamped  until  water  appears  on  the 
surface.  After  tamping  this  layer  of  concrete  shall  be  four  (4)  inches 
in  thickness. 

The  surface  of  the  concrete  shall  be  thoroughly  watered  for  at 
least  forty-eight  (48)  hours  before  receiving  the  cushion  coat. 

CEMENT  TEST. 

The  cement  tests  for  all  cement  work,  under  the  specifications 
contained  in  this  ordinance,  shall  be  made  in  accordance  with  the 
methods  proposed  by  the  Committee  of  Uniform  Tests  of  Cement  of 
the  American  Society  of  Civil  Engineers,  and  shall  be  open  to  contrac- 
tors. 

FINENESS — It  shall  leave  by  weight  a  residue  of  not  more  than 
five  (5%)  per  cent  on  the  No.  100  and  not  more  than  twenty-five  (25%) 
per  cent,  on  the  No.  200-sieve. 

TIME  OP  SETTING— Initial  set  of  the  cement  shall  not  be  less 
than  thirty  (30)  minutes,  but  must  develop  hard  set  in  not  less  than 
one  (1)  hour  nor  more  than  ten  (10)  hours. 

TENSILE    STRENGTH — Requirements    for    tensile    strength    for 
briquettes  one  (1)  inch  square  in  section  shall  be  as  follows: 
Age.  NEAT  CEMENT.  Pounds. 

24  hours  in  moist  air 175 

7  days  (1  day  in  moist  air,  6  days  in  water) 500 

28  days  (1  day  in  moist  air,  27  days  in  water) 600 

ONE  PART  CEMENT,  THREE  PARTS  SAND. 

7  days  (1  day  in  moist  air,  6  days  in  water) 170 

28  days  (1  day  in  moist  air,  27  days  in  water) 240 

CONSTANCY  OF  VOLUME — Pats  of  neat  coment  about  three  (3) 
inches  in  diameter,  one-half  (y2)  inch  thick  at  the  center,  and  tapering 
to  a  thin  edge,  shall  be  kept  in  moist  air  for  a  period  of  twenty-four 
(24)  hours. 

(a)  A  pat  is  then  kept  in  air  at  normal  temperature,  and  observed 
at  intervals  for  at  least  twenty-eight  (28)  days. 

(b)  Another  pat  is  kept  in  water  maintained  as  near  70  degrees 
Fahr.   as  practicable,  and  observed  at  intervals  for  at  least  twenty- 
eight  (28)  days. 

(c)  A  third  pat  is  exposed  in  any  convenient  way  in  an  atmos- 
phere of  steam,  above  boiling  water,  in  a  loosely   closed  vessel  for 
five  (5)  hours. 

These  pats,  to  satisfactorily  pass  the  requirements,  shaft  remain 
firm  and  hard  and  show  no  signs  of  distortion,  checking,  cracking  or 
disintegration. 

(6) 
SAND  CUSHION. 

Upon  the  concrete  base,  laid  as  above  specified  and  swept  free 
from  all  dirt  and  rubbish,  shall  be  spread  a  layer  of  sand  one  and 
one-half  (iy2)  inches  to  one  and  three-fourths  (1%)  inches  in  depth. 
The  sand  need  not  necessarily  be  sharp,  but  it  must  be  screened,  dry, 
and  free  from  more  than  three  (3)  per  cent  of  loamy  matter.  It  shall 
be  spread  by  the  aid  of  a  templet  and  made  to  conform  smoothly  to  the 
true  surface  of  the  finished  work.  There  shall  be  no  disturbance  of 
the  surface  of  the  cushion  coat  previous  to  laying  the  vitrified  bricks 
thereon. 

(7) 
LAYING  VITRIFIED  BRICK. 

Upon  the  cushion  coat  shall  be  laid  the  vitrified  brick  vertically 
on  edge  at  right  angles  to  the  curb,  except  at  street  intersections,  and 
in  close  contact  with  each  other.  Brick  in  adjoining  rows  must  be 
laid  so  as  to  break  joints  at  least  two  (2)  inches.  No  bats  or  parts 
of  brick  shall  be  used  except  for  the  purpose  of  closure  or  for  break- 
ing joints  in  starting  courses. 

After  the  bricks  are  laid  they  shall  be  thoroughly  inspected  and 
all  warped,  spalled  and  soft  bricks  removed  and  replaced  by  more 
perfect  ones.

herein  provided  for  is  to  be  constructed,  to  such  an  extent  as  may 
be  required  by  the  plans,  profiles,  cross-sections  and  specifications. 

2nd.    To  lay  thereon  the  pavement  hereinafter  specified. 

3rd.     To  furnish  all  materials  necessary  to  perform  said  work. 

4th.    To  do  whatever  else  is  required  by  these  specifications. 

(3) 
SUB-GRADE. 

The  sub-grade  shall  be  parallel  to  and  nine  and  one-half  (9M>) 
inches  below  the  surface  of  the  finished  work. 

(4) 
GRADING. 

Grading  shall  include  the  removal  of  all  earth,  stone,  and  all 
other  materials  that  may  be  encountered  and  shall  include  also  all 
filling,  trimming,  or  other  work  that  may  be  necessary  in  bringing  the 
surface  to  the  required  sub-grade. 

When  mud,  sand  or  other  soft  material  below  sub-grade  is 
encountered,  it  shall  be  taken  out  and  the  space  refilled  with  good 
earth  or  gravel,  which  shall  be  rolled  until  the  surface  of  the  founda- 
tion ceases  to  sink  under  or  creep  in  front  of  the  roller.  The  con- 
tractor, however,  shall  not  be  required  in  such  cases  to  excavate  the 
mud  or  other  soft  material  to  a  greater  depth  than  two  (2)  feet  below 
sub-grade. 

After  a  section  has  been  graded  as  above  specified  it  shall  be 
watered  sufficiently  for  the  moisture  to  penetrate  all  the  loose  earth 
and  the  surface  shall  then  be  either  thoroughly  tamped  or  rolled  with 
a  roller  having  an  effective  compressive  weight  of  not  less  than  250 
pounds  to  the  lineal  inch  of  tire,  until  the  surface  is  firm  and  unyield- 
ing. Depressions  made  by  rolling  shall  be  leveled  up  with  good  earth 
and  again  rolled.  All  pipe  trenches  and  other  places  that  cannot  be 
properly  compacted  by  the  roller,  shall  be  tamped  solid,  and  in  cases 
of  wet  weather  or  soft  or  muddy  ground,  making  the  use  of  the  roller 
unsafe  and  impracticable,  the  rolling  shall  not  be  undertaken  until 
the  ground  has  become  sufficiently  dry. 

The  contractor  shall  notify  the  Superintendent  of  Streets  when  a 
section  has  been  brought  to  sub-grade,  when  the  latter  will  check 
the  elevation  of  the  same,  and  if  the  work  is  found  to  be  in  accordance 
with  the  specifications  and  grades  given,  the  contractor  shall  proceed 
as  hereinafter  mentioned: 

(5) 
CONCRETE  BASE. 

Upon  the  sub-grade  prepared  as  above  specified  and  thoroughly 
dampened,  shall  be  laid  the  concrete  base  prepared  as  hereinafter 
provided,  and  composed  of  the  following  materials: 

One  (1)  part  (by  measure)  of  Portland  cement; 

Three  (3)  parts  (by  measure)  of  sand; 

Six  (6)  parts,  by  measure,  of  broken  stone. 

The  cement  shall  be  the  best  Portland  cement  and  shall  be 
delivered  in  suitable  packages  with  brand  and  name  of  manufac- 
turer plainly  marked  thereon.  A  bag  of  cement  shall  contain  ninety- 
four  (4)  pounds  of  cement  net.  Each  barrel  of  Portland  cement  shall 
contain  four  (4)  bags  of  the  above  net  weight. 

The  sand  shall  be  clean,  sharp  and  free  from  loam,  vegetable 
matter,  silt  and  dirt. 

The  broken  stone  shall  be  of  hard,  durable  material  and  shall 
have  sizes  ranging  from  the  size  of  a  pea  minimum  to  that  which  will 
pass  through  a  three  (3)  inch  ring  maximum.  All  sand  and  crushed 
stone  used  in  construction  shall  be  dumped  on  planks. 

Unless  a  concrete  mixer  is  used  the  concrete  shall  be  mixed  by 
skilled  workmen  on  a  proper  water-tight  platform.  The  materials  shall 
be  thoroughly  mixed  and  incorporated  while  dry  so  as  to  form  a 
homogeneous  mixture  of  the  ingredients,  then  the  water  shall  be  added 
in  such  quantities  as  to  produce  a  uniformly  and  thoroughly  wet 
mass,  but  not  enough  so  as  to  produce  a  slush.  While  being  wetted 
the  whole  mass  shall  be  turned  over  at  least  twice  more.  No  concrete 
shall  be  used  that  shows  evidence  of  having  set,  or  that  has  become 

44 


unfit  for  good  work  from  standing  too  long,  or  from  any  other  cause, 
and  no  remixing  of  concrete  will  be  allowed. 

The  concrete  thus  prepared  shall  be  immediately  spread  upon 
the  foundation  and  thoroughly  tamped  until  water  appears  on  the 
surface.  After  tamping  this  layer  of  concrete  shall  be  four  (4)  inches 
in  thickness. 

The  surface  of  the  concrete  shall  be  thoroughly  watered  for  at 
least  forty-eight  (48)  hours  before  receiving  the  cushion  coat. 

CEMENT  TEST. 

The  cement  tests  for  all  cement  work,  under  the  specifications 
contained  in  this  ordinance,  shall  be  made  in  accordance  with  the 
methods  proposed  by  the  Committee  of  Uniform  Tests  of  Cement  of 
the  American  Society  of  Civil  Engineers,  and  shall  be  open  to  contrac- 
tors. 

FINENESS — It  shall  leave  by  weight  a  residue  of  not  more  than 
five  (5%)  per  cent  on  the  No.  100  and  not  more  than  twenty-five  (25%) 
per  cent,  on  the  No.  200-sieve. 

TIME  OF  SETTING— Initial  set  of  the  cement  shall  not  be  less 
than  thirty  (30)  minutes,  but  must  develop  hard  set  in  not  less  than 
one  (1)  hour  nor  more  than  ten  (10)  hours. 

TENSILE    STRENGTH — Requirements    for    tensile    strength    for 
briquettes  one  (1)  inch  square  in  section  shall  be  as  follows:

firm  and  hard  and  show  no  signs  of  distortion,  checking,  cracking  or 
disintegration. 

(6) 
SAND  CUSHION. 

Upon  the  concrete  base,  laid  as  above  specified  and  swept  free 
from  all  dirt  and  rubbish,  shall  be  spread  a  layer  of  sand  one  and 
one-half  (1%)  inches  to  one  and  three-fourths  (1%)  inches  in  depth. 
The  sand  need  not  necessarily  be  sharp,  but  it  must  be  screened,  dry, 
and  free  from  more  than  three  (3)  per  cent  of  loamy  matter.  It  shall 
be  spread  by  the  aid  of  a  templet  and  made  to  conform  smoothly  to  the 
true  surface  of  the  finished  work.  There  shall  be  no  disturbance  of 
the  surface  of  the  cushion  coat  previous  to  laying  the  vitrified  bricks 
thereon. 

(7) 
LAYING  VITRIFIED  BRICK. 

Upon  the  cushion  coat  shall  be  laid  the  vitrified  brick  vertically 
on  edge  at  right  angles  to  the  curb,  except  at  street  intersections,  and 
in  close  contact  with  each  other.  Brick  in  adjoining  rows  must  be 
laid  so  as  to  break  joints  at  least  two  (2)  inches.  No  bats  or  parts 
of  brick  shall  be  used  except  for  the  purpose  of  closure  or  for  break- 
ing joints  in  starting  courses. 

After  the  bricks  are  laid  they  shall  be  thoroughly  inspected  and 
all  warped,  spalled  and  soft  bricks  removed  and  replaced  by  more 
perfect  ones.

ORDINANCE   NO.  988. 


An  Ordinance  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  Adopting  Specifications  for  the 
Construction  of  Asphalt  Pavement  in  Said  City. 


The  Mayor  and  City  Council  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  do  ordain  as 
follows : 

Section  1.  That  the  specifications  for  the  construction  of  asphalt 
pavement  in  the  City  of  Pasadena,  to  be  known  as  "SPECIFICATIONS 
NO.  13  FOR  THE  CONSTRUCTION  OF  ASPHALT  PAVEMENT  IN 
THE  CITY  OF  PASADENA,"  shall  be  as  herein  and  are  hereby  as  such 
adopted. 

(1) 

The  work  herein  provided  for  is  to  be  done  in  accordance  with  the 
plans,  profiles  and  cross-sections  on  file  in  the  office  of  the  City  Engi- 
neer of  the  City  of  Pasadena,  and  all  work  shall,  during  its  progress 
and  on  its  completion,  conform  to  the  lines  and  levels  which  may  from 
time  to  time  be  given  by  the  City  Engineer,  in  accordance  therewith, 

(2) 
WORK. 

The  work  to  be  done  is  as  follows: 

1st.  To  excavate  or  fill  in  the  area  upon  which  the  pavement 
herein  provided  for  is  to  be  constructed,  to  such  an  extent  as  may 
be  required  by  the  plans,  profiles  and  cross-sections  and  specifications. 

2nd.    To  lay  thereon  the  pavement  hereinafter  specified. 

3rd.    To  furnish  all  materials  necessary  to  perform  said  work. 

4th.    To  do  whatever  else  is  required  by  these  specifications. 

(3) 
SUB-GRADE. 

The  sub-grade  shall  be  parallel  to  and  seven  (7)  inches  below  the 
surface  of  the  finished  work. 

(4) 
GRADING. 

Grading  shall  include  the  removal  of  all  earth,  stone,  and  all  other 
materials  that  may  be  encountered  and  shall  include  also  all  filling, 
trimming,  or  other  work,  that  may  be  necessary  in  bringing  the  surface 
to  the  required  sub-grade. 

When  mud,  sand  or  other  soft  material  below  sub-grade  is  encoun- 
tered, it  shall  be  taken  out  and  the  space  refilled  with  good  earth  or 
gravel,  which  shall  be  rolled  until  the  surface  of  the  foundation  ceases 
to  sink  under  or  creep  in  front  of  the  roller.  The  contractor,  however, 
shall  not  be  required  in  such  cases  to  excavate  the  mud  or  other  soft 
material  to  a  greater  depth  than  two  (2)  feet  below  sub-grade. 

48 


After  a  section  has  been  graded  as  above  specified  it  shall  be 
watered  sufficiently  for  the  moisture  to  penetrate  all  the  loose  earth 
and  the  surface  shall  then  be  either  thoroughly  tamped,  or  rolled  with 
a  roller  having  an  effective  compressive  weight  of  not  less  than  three 
hundred  fifty  (350)  pounds  to  the  lineal  inch  of  tire,  until  the  surface 
is  firm  and  unyielding.  Depressions  made  by  rolling  shall  be  leveled 
up  with  good  earth  and  again  rolled.  All  pipe  trenches  and  other 
places  that  cannot  be  properly  compacted  by  the  roller,  shall  be 
tamped  solid,  and  in  cases  of  wet  weather  or  soft  or  muddy  ground, 
making  the  use  of  the  roller  unsafe  and  impracticable,  the  rolling 
shall  not  be  undertaken  until  the  ground  has  become  sufficiently  dry. 

The  contractor  shall  notify  the  Superintendent  of  Streets  when  a 
section  has  been  brought  to  sub-grade,  when  the  latter  will  check  the 
elevation  of  the  same,  and  if  the  work  is  found  to  be  in  accordance 
with  the  specifications  and  grades  given,  the  contractor  shall  proceed 
as  hereinafter  mentioned: 

(5) 
CONCRETE  BASE. 

Upon  the  sub-grade  prepared  as  above  specified  and  thoroughly 
dampened,  shall  be  laid  the  concrete  base  prepared  as  hereinafter  pro- 
vided, and  composed  of  the  following  materials: 

One  (1)  part  (by  measure)  of  Portland  cement; 

Three  (3)  parts  (by  measure)  of  sand; 

Six  (6)  parts  (by  measure)  of  broken  stone. 

The  cement  shall  be  the  best  Portland  cement  and  shall  be  deliv- 
ered in  suitable  packages  with  brand  and  name  of  manufacturer  plain- 
ly marked  thereon.  A  bag  of  cement  shall  contain  ninety-four  (94) 
pounds  of  cement  net.  Each  barrel  of  Portland  cement  shall  contain 
four  (4)  bags  of  the  above  net  weight. 

The  sand  shall  be  clean,  sharp  and  free  from  loam,  vegetable  mat- 
ter, silt  and  dirt. 

The  broken  stone  shall  be  of  hard,  durable  material  and  shall  have 
sizes  ranging  from  the  size  of  a  pea  minimum  to  that  which  will  pass 
through  a  three  (3)  inch  ring  maximum.  All  sand  and  crushed  stone 
used  in  construction  shall  be  dumped  on  planks. 

Unless  a  concrete  mixer  is  used  the  concrete  shall  be  mixed  by 
skilled  workmen  on  a  proper  water-tight  platform.  The  materials  shall 
be  thoroughly  mixed  and  incorporated  while  dry  so  as  to  form  a 
homogeneous  mixture  of  the  ingredients,  then  the  water  shall  be 
added  in  such  quantities  as  to  produce  a  uniformly  and  thoroughly  wet 
mass,  but  not  enough  so  as  to  produce  a  slush.  While  being  wetted 
the  whole  mass  shall  be  turned  over  at  least  twice  more.  No  concrete 
shall  be  used  that  shows  evidence  of  having  set,  or  that  has  become 
unfit  for  good  work  from  standing  too  long,  or  from  any  other  cause, 
and  no  remixing  of  concrete  will  be  allowed. 

The  concrete  thus  prepared  shall  be  immediately  spread  upon  the 
foundation  and  throughly  tamped  until  water  appears  on  the  surface. 
After  tamping  this  layer  of  concrete  shall  be  four  (4)  inches  in  thick- 
ness. 

The  surface  of  the  concrete  shall  be  thoroughly  watered  for  at 
least  ten  (10)  days,  after  which  sufficient  time  shall  be  allowed  for 
the  surface  to  become  thoroughly  dry  before  receiving  the  binder 
course. 

CEMENT  TESTS. 

The  cement  tests  for  all  cement  work,  under  the  specifications  con- 
tained in  this  ordinance,  shall  be  made  in  accordance  with  the  methods 
proposed  by  the  Committee  of  Uniform  Tests  of  Cement  of  the  Ameri- 
can Society  of  Civil  Engineers,  and  shall  be  open  to  contractors. 

FINENESS — It  shall  leave  by  weight  a  residue  of  not  more  than 
five  (5%)  per  cent  on  the  No.  100  and  not  more  than  twenty-five  (25%) 
per  cent  on  the  No.  200-sieve. 

TIME  OF  SETTING — Initial  set  of  the  cement  shall  not  be  less 
than  thirty  (30)  minutes,  but  must  develop  hard  set  in  not  less  than 
one  (1)  hour  nor  more  than  ten  (10)  hours. 

TENSILE  STRENGTH — Requirements  for  tensile  strength  for 
briquettes  one  (1)  inch  square  in  section  shall  be  as  follows:

CONSTANCY  OF  VOLUME — Pats  of  neat  cement  about  three  (3) 
inches  in  diameter,  one-half  (%)  inch  thick  at  the  center,  and  tapering 
to  a  thin  edge,  shall  be  kept  in  moist  air  for  a  period  of  twenty-four 
(24)  hours. 

(a)  A  pat  is  then  kept  in  air  at  normal  temperature,  and  observed 
at  intervals  for  at  least  twenty-eight  (28)  days. 

(b)  Another  pat  is  kept  in  water  maintained  as  near  70  degrees 
Fahr.  as  practicable,  and  observed  at  intervals  for  at  least  twenty- 
eight  (28)  days. 

(c)  A  third  pat  is  exposed  in  any  convenient  way  in  an  atmos- 
phere of  steam,  above  boiling  water,  in  a  loosely  closed  vessel  for  five 
(5)  hours. 

These  pats,  to  satisfactorily  pass  the  requirements,  shall  remain 
firm  and  hard  and  show  no  signs  of  distortion,  checking,  cracking  or 
disintegration. 

(6) 
BINDER  COURSE. 

Upon  the  foundation  previously  prepared  and  thoroughly  swept 
free  from  all  rubbish,  shall  be  laid  a  binder  course  prepared  as  here- 
inafter specified,  and  composed  of  the  following  materials: 

Stone  shall  be  clean,  hard  and  of  durable  quality,  broken  to  pass 
through  a  one  (1)  inch  screen.  Stone  containing  more  than  ten  (10) 
per  cent  of  particles  exceeding  one  and  one-quarter  (l1^)  inches  in 
their  largest  dimension,  or  more  than  fifteen  (15)  per  cent  of  particles 
passing  a  ten  (10)  mesh  to  the  inch  screen  will  be  rejected. 

The  broken  stone  shall  be  heated  in  a  suitable  heater  to  a  tem- 
perature of  between  two  hundred  fifty  (250)  and  three  hundred  twen- 
ty-five (325)  degrees  Fahr. 

Asphaltic  cement  must  be  of  the  quality  and  consistency  specified 
hereinafter.  It  shall  be  heated  to  a  temperature  between  two  hundred 
fifty  (250)  and  three  hundred  twenty-five  (325)  degrees  Fahr.,  and 
shall  then  be  thoroughly  incorporated  with  the  heated  stone  in  a  suit- 
able mixer  in  such  proportions  that  each  particle  of  stone  shall  be 
thoroughly  coated  with  a  sufficient  quantity  of  asphaltic  cement  to 
bind  the  particles  of  stone  firmly  together  when  the  mass  is  laid  upon 
the  street  and  firmly  compressed. 

Binder  which  appears  dull  from  lack  of  cement  or  over-heating,  or 
which  contains  an  excess  of  cement  will  be  rejected. 

The  binder  mixture,  prepared  as  above,  shall  be  hauled  to  the 
street  while  still  hot,  and  carefully  spread  upon  the  foundation  with 
hot  iron  rakes  and  shovels  to  such  depth  that,  after  receiving  its 
final  compression,  it  shall  have  a  thickness  of  one  (1)  inch.  It  shall 
then  be  immediately  rolled  with  a  roller  having  an  effective  compres- 
sive  weight  of  not  less  than  170  pounds  to  the  lineal  inch  width  of 
tire.  The  rolling  shall  be  continued  while  the  binder  is  in  hot  plastic 
condition.  All  places  that  are  inaccessible  to  the  roller  must  be 
thoroughly  tamped  with  hot  iron  tampers  to  an  even  and  true  surface. 

The  upper  surface  of  the  binder  course  shall  be  made  exactly  par- 
allel with  the  required  surface  of  the  finished  pavement,  and  the  whole 
course  when  finished  must  be  thoroughly  compacted  and  the  particles 
bound  firmly  together. 

No  more  of  the  binder  shall  be  laid  than  can  be  covered  with  the 
surface  mixture  on  the  succeeding  two  days. 

(7) 

ASPHALT  WEARING  SURFACE. 

Upon  the  binder  course  prepared  and  laid  as  above  described, 
and  thoroughly  swept  free  from  all  rubbish,  shall  be  laid  an  asphalt 

50 


wearing  surface  composed  of  asphaltic  cement,  sand  and  stone  dust, 
the  different  ingredients  being  mixed  in  such  proportions  that  the  per- 
centage composition,  by  weight,  of  the  wearing  surface  shall  be  within 
the  following  limits :

in  diameter,  it  must  not  lose  more  than  one  (1)  per  cent  in  weight, 
and  its  penetration  must  not  be  reduced  as  a  result  of  such  heating 
more  than  50  per  cent. 

It  must,  when  ready  for  use,  contain  at  least  ninety-nine  (99)  per 
cent  of  bitumen  so^ble  in  carbon  disulphide.  It  shall  be  soluble  in 
cold  carbon  tetrachloride  to  the  extent  of  at  least  ninety-seven  (97) 
per  cent.  When  two  hundred  (200)  cubic  centimeters  of  the  solvent 
are  poured  on  one  (1)  gramme  of  the  asphaltic  cement  and  the  mix- 
ture is  allowed  to  stand  for  eighteen  (18)  hours  at  a  temperature  of 
twenty-five  (25)  degrees  centrigrade  and  filtered  at  twenty-five  (25) 
degrees  centigrade.  Not  less  than  seventy  (70)  per  cent  shall  be  solu- 
ble in  eighty-six  (86)  degrees  naphtha  when  one  hundred  fifty  (150) 
cubic  centimeters  of  the  solvent  are  poured  on  one-half  (^)  grammes 
of  the  finely  divided  asphaltic  cement  and  the  mixture  is  allowed  to 
stand  for  eighteen  (18)  hours  at  a  temperature  of  twenty-five  (25) 
degrees  centigrade  and  filtered  at  twenty-five  (25)  degrees  centi- 
grade. It  shall  not  contain  more  than  fifteen  (15)  per  cent  of  fixed 
carbon  on  ignition. 

When  the  asphaltic  cement  is  prepared  by  mixing  a  solid  oil 
asphalt  with  a  liquid  asphalt,  the  solid  oil  asphalt  shall  be  prepared  by 
distilling  the  crude  oil  until  the  asphaltic  residium  has  a  penetration 
not  less  than  fifty  (50)  degrees  by  the  District  of  Columbia  standard, 
and  shall  not  be  prepared  by  mixing  or  fluxing  a  more  solid  asphalt 
with  a  liquid  or  softer  asphalt. 

The  refined  liquid  asphalt  used  in  softening  a  solid  asphalt  must 

51 


be  a  stiff  residium  of  petroleum  oil  with  an  asphalt  base.  It  must 
be  free  from  water  and  from  light  oils  volatile  at  less  than  two  hun- 
dred fifty  (250)  degrees  Fahr.  When  twenty  (20)  grammes  are  heated 
to  a  temperature  of  three  hundred  (300)  degrees  Fahr.  for  five  (5) 
consecutive  hours  in  an  uncovered  cylindrical  dish  three  and  one-half 
(3^)  centimeters  high  by  five  and  one-half  (oy2)  centimeters  in  diam- 
eter, it  must  not  lose  more  than  three  (3)  per  cent  in  weight.  It  must 
contain  not  less  than  ninety-nine  (99)  per  cent  of  bitumen  soluble 
in  carbon  disulphide. 

SAND. 

The  sand  for  wearing  surface  shall  be  clean,  hard-grained  and 
sharp,  and  shall  contain  not  more  than  three  (3)  per  cent  of  loam, 
clay  or  other  earthy  impurities;  it  must  all  pass  a  ten  (10)  mesh  to 
the  inch  screen. 

STONE  DUST. 

The  stone  dust  for  wearing  surface  shall  be  a  finely  powdered 
limestone,  granite,  quartz  or  other  mineral  material,  and  shall  be  of 
such  fineness  that  all  of  it  will  pass  a  fifty  mesh  to  the  inch  screen, 
and  at  least  sixty-six  (66)  per  cent  shall  pass  a  two  hundred  (200) 
mesh  to  the  inch  screen. 

SAMPLES. 

The  contractor  shall  furnish  to  the  City  Engineer,  for  test,  when- 
ever called  for  and  free  of  charge,  samples  of  all  the  materials  enter- 
ing into  the  composition  of  the  pavement,  the  asphalt  and  asphaltic 
cement  to  be  furnished  in  boxes,  and  said  City  Engineer  shall  have 
access  at  all  times  to  all  branches  of  the  work. 

(9) 
PREPARING   THE    WEARING    SURFACE. 

The  sand  shall  be  heated  in  suitable  driers  to  a  temperature  be- 
tween three  hundred  (300)  and  three  hundred  seventy-five  (375) 
degrees  Fahr.  The  hot  sand  and  cold  stone  dust  shall  then  be  thor- 
oughly mixed  together  in  a  suitable  mixer.  The  necessary  quantity 
of  asphaltic  cement  (previously  heated  to  between  two  hundred  fifty 
(250)  and  three  hundred  (300)  degrees  Fahr.,)  shall  then  be  added, 
and  the  whole  mass  shall  be  mixed  until  every  particle  of  sand  and 
stone  dust  is  thoroughly  coated  with  a  thin  layer  of  asphaltic  cement. 
In  no  case,  after  refining,  shall  the  asphaltic  cement  be  heated  above 
three  hundred  twenty-five  (325)  degrees  Fahr. 

The  material  so  produced  must  leave  the  mixer  at  a  temperature 
between  two  hundred  fifty  (250)  and  three  hundred  twenty-five  (325) 
degrees  Fahr.,  and  must  be  fine-grained  and  capable  of  producing  a 
compact  pavement.  Proper  sand,  and  sufficient,  asphaltic  cement  arid 
stone  dust  must  be  used  in  order  to  secure  this  result. 

(10) 
LAYING  THE  WEARING  SURFACE. 

The  surface  mixture,  prepared  as  above,  shall  be  brought  to  the 
work  in  suitable  carts  or  dump  wagons,  and  shall  not  be  colder  than 
two  hundred  fifty  (250)  degrees  Fahr.,  or  hotter  than  three  hundred 
twenty-five  (325)  degrees  Fahr.  when  it  reaches  the  street. 

It  shall  at  once  be  uniformly  spread  over  the  binder  course  with 
hot  shovels,  and  hot  rakes  to  such  a  depth  that  after  receiving  its  ul- 
timate compression,  the  finished  asphalt  wearing  surface  shall  have  a 
thickness  of  not  less  than  two  (2)  inches. 

It  shall  be  immediately  compressed  by  hot  hand  rollers,  after 
which  a  small  amount  of  hydraulic  cement  or  infusorial  earth  shall 
be  swept  over  it,  and  it  will  then  immediately  be  thoroughly  rolled  by 
a  roller  weighing  not  less  than  170  pounds  to  the  lineal  inch  width 
of  tire.  This  rolling  must  be  continued  for  not  less  than  five  hours 
for  each  one  thousand  (1000)  square  yards  of  pavement.  All  places 
that  are  inaccessible  to  the  roller  must  be  tamped  with  hot  iron 
tampers.  The  resulting  pavement  must  show  a  close-grained,  even  and 
smooth  surface,  true  to  grade  and  cross-sections,  and  free  from  all 
hollows  and  inequalities.  When  a  straight  edge  five  (5)  feet  long  is 
laid  on  the  finished  surface  of  the  roadway  and  parallel  with  the  line 
of  the  street,  the  surface  shall  in  no  place  vary  more  than  one-quarter 

52 


of  an  inch  from  the  lower  edge  of  the  straight  edge. 
No  traffic  shall  be  allowed  on  the  street  until  the  pavement  is 
thoroughly  cooled  and  set.    No  binder  or  wearing  surface  shall  be  laid 
in  rainy  weather,  or  when  the  foundation  or  binder  is  wet  from  rain 
or  other  cause. 

(11) 
GENERAL  REQUIREMENTS. 

The  contractor  shall  give  at  least  one  week's  notice  to  the  City 
Engineer  so  that  he  may  test  the  cement  proposed  to  be  used  on  the 
work.  No  cement  shall  be  hauled  on  the  work  that  has  not  been 
tested  and  accepted  by  the  City  Engineer.

Engineer,  and  any  expense  in  replacing  said  monuments  or  stakes, 
which  the  contractor  or  his  subordinates  may  have  failed  to  preserve 
shall  be  borne  by  the  contractor. 

No  work  which  may  be  defective  in  its  construction,  or  deficient 
in  any  of  the  requirements  of  these  specifications,  will  be  considered 
as  accepted  in  consequence  of  the  failure  of  any  officer  of  the  City  or 
inspector  connected  with  the  work,  to  point  out  said  defects  or 
deficiency  during  the  construction,  and  the  contractor  shall  be  required 
to  correct  any  imperfect  work,  before  the  final  acceptance  of  the 
work. 

The  contractor  assumes  all  risk  of  variance  in  any  computation 
or  statement  of  amounts  of  quantities  necessary  to  complete  the 
work  required  by  the  contract,  and  agrees  to  furnish  all  necessary 
labor  and  material,  and  to  fully  complete  said  work  in  accordance  with 
the  plans  and  specifications,  and  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  Street 
Superintendent  and  City  Engineer. 

Bidders  must  examine  and  judge  for  themselves  as  to  the  loca-

The  contractor  will  be  required  to  observe  all  the  ordinances  of 
the  City  of  Pasadena  in  relation  to  the  obstruction  of  streets,  keeping 
open  passage  ways,  and  protecting  the  same  by  erecting  a  fence  or 
proper  barrier  along  the  line  of  the  work  and  across  the  ends  of  same 
in  order  to  guard  the  public  effectively  from  danger  during  the  progress 
of  the  work,  and  he  shall  post  all  proper  notices  and  signals  to  the 
public  of  the  state  of  the  street  while  the  work  is  in  progress. 

A  red  light  shall  be  maintained  at  night  at  each  end  of  the  bar- 
riers from  sunset  until  sunrise. 

In  case  it  should  be  necessary  to  move  the  property  of  any  owner 
of  a  public  utility,  or  franchise,  such  owner  will,  upon  proper  appli- 
cation by  the  contractor,  be  notified  by  the  Street  Superintendent  to 
move  such  property  within  a  specified  reasonable  time,  and  the  con- 
tractor shall  not  interfere  with  said  property  until  after  the  expira- 
tion of  the  time  specified. 

The  right  is  reserved  to  the  City  and  the  owners  of  public  utilities 
and  franchises  to  enter  upon  the  street  for  the  purpose  of  making 
repairs  or  changes  that  may  become  necessary  by  the  work. 

The  contractor  shall  remove  all  surplus  material  and  rubbish  from 
the  work  after  its  completion  and  before  he  makes  application  for 
the  acceptance  of  the  work. 

The  contractor  shall  notify  the  Street  Superintendent  when  he 
desires  a  final  inspection  of  the  work,  when  the  latter,  will,  as  soon 
as  possible,  make  the  necessary  examination,  and  if  the  work  is 

53 


found  in  compliance  with  the  above  specifications,  the  Street  Super- 
intendent will  furnish  the  contractor  with  a  certificate  to  that  effect. 

Whenever  the  word  "Contractor"  is  used  in  these  specifications 
it  refers  to  the  party  or  parties  of  the  second  part  in  the  agreement 
for  the  construction  of  the  work  herein  specified. 

Whenever  the  words  "Street  Superintendent"  or  "City  Engineer" 
are  used  in  these  specifications  they  refer  respectively  to  the  Street 
Suprintendent  and  the  City  Engineer  of  the  City  of  Pasadena,  or  their 
authorized  agents  or  inspectors. 

Sec.  2.  The  City  Clerk  shall  certify  to  the  adoption  of  this  ordi- 
nance and  cause  the  same  to  be  published  once  in  the  Pasadena  Daily 
News.

tenances in  the  City  of  Pasadena. 


The  Mayor  and  City  Council  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  do  ordain  as 
follows : 

"•"^ection  1.  That  the  specifications  for  storm  water  sewers,  con- 
duits and  appurtenances  in  the  City  of  Pasadena,  to  be  known  as 
"SPECIFICATIONS  NO.  14  FOR  THE  CONSTRUCTION  OF  STORM 
WATER  SEWERS,  CONDUITS  AND  APPURTENANCES  IN  THE 
CITY  OF  PASADENA,"  shall  be  as  herein,  and  are  hereby  as  such 
adopted. 

(1) 

WORK. 

The  contractor  shall  furnish  all  materials  and  perform  all  the 
labor  necessary  to  execute  the  work  in  every  respect  in  accordance 
with  the  plans,  profiles  and  cross-sections  on  file  in  the  office  of  the 
City  Engineer  of  the  City  of  Pasadena,  and  all  work  shall  conform  to 
the  sizes  and  dimensions  and  the  lines  and  grades  shown  on  said 
plans,  profiles  and  cross-sections,  and  with  the  lines  and  levels  which 
may  from  time  to  time  be  given  by  the  City  Engineer,  in  accordance 
therewith. 

(2) 
EXCAVATION. 

(1)  TRENCHES:     The    ground     shall     be     excavated     in     open 
trenehes   to   the   necessary   width   and   depth.      The    clear   width   of 
trenches,  exclusive  of  timbering,  where  the  same  may  be  necessary, 
shall  be  as  follows: 

For  vitrified  pipe,  at  least  one  (1)  foot  greater  than  the  external 
diameter  of  the  pipe  to  be  laid  therein. 

For  concrete  and  brick  sewers  a  width  equal  to  the  external 
diameter  of  the  sewer. 

The  trench  shall  not  be  open  more  than  three  hundred  (300) 
feet  in  advance  of  the  sewer  construction,  nor  left  unfilled  for  more 
than  three  hundred  (300)  feet  in  the  rear  thereof. 

Whenever  the  nature  of  the  ground  will  admit  of  it,  the  bottom 
of  the  trench  shall  be  excavated  to  the  exact  form  and  size  6f  the  base 
of  the  sewer. 

(2)  REMOVING  SOFT   OR   SPONGY  MATERIAL:      All  soft  or 
spongy  earth  and  material  below   sub-grade,  not  to  exceed  a  depth 
of  two  (2)  feet,  shall  be  removed  by  the  contractor  and  replaced  with 

54 


good  earth  or  gravel  of  a  quality  which  will  pack  when  moistened  and 
tamped,  and  it  shall  be  so  moistened  and  tamped  until  solid. 

(3)  BRACING  TRENCHES:     The  sides  of  the  excavation  shall 
be  supported  with  sheet  planking  and  bracing  whenever  the  ground 
will  not  stand  unsupported,  and  in  all  cases  the  sheet  piling  or  timbers 
shall  be  drawn,  as  the  work  progresses,  in  such  manner  as  to  prevent 
caving  in  of  the  sides  of  the  trench.     All  openings   caused   by  the 
removal  of  the  sheet  piling  or  timbers  shall  be  filled  with  good  earth, 
which  shall  be  compacted  by  flooding  or  tamping. 

(4)  SPOIL  BANKS:     The  materials  excavated  shall  be  laid  com- 
pactly along  the  side  of  the  trench,  and  kept  trimmed  up  so  as  to 
cause  as  little  inconvenience  as  possible  to  the  public  travel.     In  case 
the  street  is  not  wide  enough  to  hold  the  earth  without  stopping  the 
passageway  on  the  sidewalk,  the  contractor  shall  erect  a  board  fence 
and  keep  a  passageway  of  five  (5)  feet  on  said  sidewalk.     Free  access 
must  be  left  to  all  fire  hydrants  and  water  gates. 

(3) 
VITRIFIED  PIPE  SEWERS. 

(5)  VITRIFIED    PIPE:       (a)     -QUALITY:      All    pipes    shall    be 
first  quality  vitrified  salt-glazed  sewer  pipe,  sound  and  well  burned 
throughout  their  entire  thickness,  impervious  to  moisture  and   must 
give  a  clear  metallic  ringing  sound  when  struck. 

(b)  GLAZING:     The  pipe  must  be  smooth  and  its  interior  sur- 
face must  be  thoroughly  glazed. 

(c)  SIZE  AND  SHAPE:     All  pipes  shall  be  socket  pipes,  with 
sockets  true,  circular  and  concentric  with  the  bore  of  the  pipe.     All 
sockets  must  be  of  full  standard  depth  and  of  sufficient  diameter  to 
receive  to  the  full  depth  the  spigot  end  of  the  next  following  pipe  or 
special,  without  any  chipping  whatsoever  of  either,  and  also  to  leave 
an  annular  space  not  less  than  three-eighth   (%)  of  an  inch  in  width 
for  the  cement  motrar  joint. 

The  body  of  the  pipe  shall  have  a  uniform  thickness  not  less  than 
that  given  in  the  following  schedule: 

Inside  Standard     .  Double 

Diameter  Pipe  Strength 

6  inch  3-4  inch  Pipe

20  inch  1  1-4  inch  1  3-4  inch 

22  inch  1  3-8  inch  1  5-6  inch 

24  inch  1  1-2  inch  2          inch 

30  inch  1  3r4  inch  2  1-4  inch 

The  bore  of  the  pipe  shall  not  vary  from  a  true  circle  more  than 
three  (3)  per  cent  of  its  nominal  diameter. 

No  pipe  or  special  designed  to  be  straight  shall  exhibit  a  diviation 
from  a  straight  line  of  more  than  three-eighths  (%)  of  an  inch. 

(d)  IMPERFECTIONS:      All    pipes   and    specials    must   be    free 
from  injurious  cracks,  checks,  blisters  or  broken  rims.     The  following 
imperfections  in  a  pipe  or  special  will  be  considered  injurious  and 
cause  for  rejection: 

A  single  crack  in  the  body  of  the  pipe  extending  through  the 
entire  thickness  regardless  of  the  extent  of  such  crack.  A  single  fire 
crack  which  extends  through  one-half  the  thickness  and  over  three  (3) 
inches  long. 

Two  or  more  fire  cracks  in  the  body  of  the  pipe  of  a  less  length 
than  three  (3)  inches  and  extending  through  one-half  the  thickness. 
Any  fire  crack  which  is  more  than  one-sixteenth  of  an  inch  wide  at  its 
widest  point. 

Lumps,  blisters  or  flakes  on  the  interior  surface  of  a  pipe  or 
special. 

Two  or  more  breaks  in  the  socket  or  spigot  unless  they  can  be 
placed  in  the  upper  half  of  the  sewer. 


(e)  CAPS:  Caps  shall  be  furnished  with  each  branch  pipe  and 
consist  of  a  disk  of  vitrified  clay,  three-fourths  (%)  of  an  inch  thick, 
fitting  snugly  the  bell  ends  of  the  branch  pipe. 

(6)  MORTAR:     All  mortar  used  for  making  vitrified  pipe  joints 
shall  be  composed  of  one  (1)  part  cement  and  one  and  one-half  (IV2) 
parts  sand  by  volume. 

(7)  LAYING  OF  VITRIFIED  PIPE:     All  pipes  previously  to  their 
being  lowered  into  the  trench,  shall  be  fitted  together  and  matched 
so  that  when  joined  in  the  trench  they  form  a  true  and  smooth  line 
of  tubes  and  shall  be  laid  without  break  uphill  from  structure  to  struc- 
ture.    Each  length  of  pipe  shall  have  a  firm  and  uniform  bearing  on 
the  sub-grade  over  its  entire  length,  and   shall  be  true  to  line  and 
grade.    The  ends  of  the  pipe  when  laid  in  the  sewer  shall  abut  against 
each  other  in  such  manner  that  there  shall  be  no  shoulder  or  uneven- 
ness  of  any  kind  along  the  bottom  half  of  the  inside  of  the  sewer. 
The  joint  shall  then  be  completely  filled  by  pressing  into  it  with  the 
fingers  all  the  mortar  it  will  hold;    the  mortar  shall  then  be  neatly 
beveled  off  from  the  outer  edge  of  the  hub  to  the  sides  of  the  pipe, 
special  care  being  taken  to  secure  good  and  proper  work  at  the  bot- 
tom of  the  joint.     The  joints  of  all  pipes  are  to  be  carefully  wiped 
and   pointed   inside   and   out,   with   cement  mortar,   and   all   material 
that  may  be  left  inside  shall  be  thoroughly  cleaned  out  and  pipe  left 
clean  and   smooth.     Work  must  be  made  water  tight  at  all   points 
and  any  leaks  or  defects  must  be  repaired  when  discovered. 

(4) 
BRICK  SEWERS. 

(8)  SEWER  BRICK:     The  brick  used  shall  be  whole,  sound,  hard 
brick  with  rectangular  surfaces  and  straight  edges  and  must  give  a 
clear  ringing  sound  when  struck  together. 

They  shall  be  uniform  in  quality  and  of  standard  dimensions,  viz., 
8  inches  by  4  inches  by  2%  inches. 

The  bricks  shall  be  culled,  or  sorted  as  they  are  brought  on  the 
ground. 

All  birck  will  be  subject  to  the  following  test,  to  be  made  by  the 
City  Engineer: 

Three  or  more  brick  shall  be  broken  across,  thoroughly  dried, 
weighed,  then  immersed  in  water  for  twenty-four  hours  and  then 
weighed  again.  The  absorption  shall  be  determined  by  the  difference 
between  the  two  wights,  and  if  such  absorption  shall  exceed  ten  (10) 
per  cent  of  the  dry  weight,  the  brick  from  which  the  samples  for  test 
were  selected  shall  be  rejected. 

(9)  VITRIFIED  BRICK:     Vitrified  brick  must  be  free  from  lime 
and  other  impurities.     They  must  be  free  from  fire  cracks  or  checks 
of  more  than  superficial  character  or  extent.     All  brick  so  distorted 
in  burning  or  with  such  prominent  kiln  marks  as  to  produce  an  uneven 
surface  shall  be  rejected.    Salt-glazed  brick  will  not  be  accepted.    They 
shall  be  of  a  size  not  less  than  two  and  one-half  (2%)  inches  nor  more 
than  three  and  one-fourth    (3%)    inches  in  thickness;    not  less   than 
seven  and  one-half   (T1/^)    inches  nor  more  than  nine    (9)    inches  in 
length  and  not  less  than  three  and  three-quarters  (3%)  nor  more  than 
four  (4)  inches  in  width;  but  .brick  in  contiguous  work  shall  not  vary 
more  than  one-eighth  of  an  inch  in  any  measurement  except  in  length. 

All  brick  will  be  subject  to  the  following  tests,  to  be  made  by 
the  City  Engineer: 

1st.  ABSORPTION  TEST:  Three  or  more  brick  shall  be  broken 
across,  thoroughly  dried,  accurately  weighed,  then  immersed  in  water 
for  seventy-two  hours,  and  then  accurately  weighed  again.  The  ab- 
sorption shall  be  determined  by  the  difference  between  the  two 
weights,  and  if  such  absorption  shall  exceed  three  (3)  per  cent  of  the 
dry  weight,  the  brick  from  which  the  samples  for  test  were  selected, 
shall  be  rejected. 

2nd.  ABRASION  TEST:  This  test  shall  be  made  in  a  foundry 
rattler  the  inside  dimensions  of  which  shall  be  as  follows:  Diameter, 
28  inches;  length,  20  inches.  Such  a  number  of  whole,  dry  brick  that 
their  total  volume  shall  equal,  as  nearly  as  possible,  eight  (8)  per 
cent  of  the  cubic  contents  of  the  rattler  shall  be  placed  therein.  There 

56 


shall  then  be  added  an  abrasive  charge  of  300  pounds  of  cast  iron 
blocks  as  follows:  10  blocks  about  21/£  inches  square  and  4J/£  inches 
long,  with  edges  rounded  to  about  %  inch  radius  and  weighing  iy2 
pounds  each,  and  225  pounds  of  cubical  blocks  about  1%  inches  on  a 
side  and  with  square  corners  and  edges.  The  rattler  shall  be  revolved 
1800  times  at  a  speed  of  from  28  to  30  revolutions  per  minute.  The 
loss  by  abrasion  during  such  test  shall  not  exceed  25  per  cent  of  the 
original  weight  of  the  brick. 

(10)  MORTAR:     Mortar  shall  be  composed  of  one   (1)   part,  by 
measure,  of  cement  to  two  and  one-half  (2^)   parts,  by  measure,  of 
sand. 

(11)  CONSTRUCTION:     The  work  in  all  cases  is  to  be  well  and 
thoroughly  bonded  and   the  bricks  are  to  be  neatly  and   truly  laid. 
The  brick  shall  be  cleaned  and   thoroughly  wet  immediately  before 
being  laid  and  shall  be  laid  within   a   "push  joint"   and   in  no  case 
shall  slushing  or  grouting  of  a  joint  be  allowed,  nor  shall  a  joint  be 
made  by  working  in  the  mortar  after  brick  is  laid.     No  brick  shall 
be  laid  in  water  and  no  water  shall  be  allowed  to  stand  or  run  upon 
the  brick  work  until  the  mortar  isv  set.     The  joints  between  courses 
of  brick  manholes  and  other  structures  shall  be  as  nearly  as  possible 
of  uniorm  thickness,  not  to  exceed  three-eighths  (%)  of  an  inch. 

In  sewers  the  joints  between  courses  shall  be  one-fourth  (%)  of 
an  inch  in  thickness  and  between  rings  one-half  (%)  of  an  inch  in 
thickness.  The  courses  in  sewers  are  to  be  laid  to  line  and  kept  per- 
fectly straight  in  the  direction  of  the  sewer  and  parallel  to  the  rise  of 
the  same.  The  bricks  shall  be  laid  as  stretchers  and  they  shall  break 
joints  with  those  in  the  adjacent  courses. 

Where  new  work  is  joined  to  the  surface  of  unfinished  work,  the 
latter  must  be  thoroughly  cleaned  and  moistened. 

All  inverts  or  bottom  courses  in  sewers  shall  be  worked  from 
templets,  accurately  made  and  correctly  set  to  line  and  grade  as 
furnished  by  the  City  Engineer.  The  outside  ring  of  the  invert  shall 
be  laid  on  a  bed  of  mortar  one-half  (%)  inch  in  thickness  and  the 
invert  shall  be  allowed  to  set  for  twenty-four  (24)  hours  before  the 
arch  is  turned. 

The  upper  portion  of  arch  of  the  sewer  shall  be  formed  on  strong 
centers  of  correct  form  and  dimensions  according  to  the  size  and 
shapes  required.  The  joints  of  the  work  shall  be  so  arranged  that  it 
will  be  necessary  to  tap  the  key  course  into  place  with  a  hammer. 
The  back  of  the  arch  shall  be  covered  with  a  coat  of  mortar  one-half 
(%)  inch  in  thickness. 

The  center  shall  not  be  struck  until  after  the  expiration  of  thirty- 
six  (36)  hours  after  the  arch  is  finished  and  the  backfilling  is  up  to  a 
level  with  the  crown  of  the  arch;  the  center  shall  then  be  turned 
and  struck  with  great  care  so  as  not  to  crack  or  injure  the  work. 

All  brick  work  shall  be  kept  moistened  for  at  least  six  (6)  days, 
by  sprinkling  with  water.  All  fresh  work  shall  be  protected  from 
injury  and  wheeling  or  walking  on  it  will  not  be  allowed.  If  any 
work  is  injured  by  drawing  the  centers,  or  from  any  other  cause 
whatever,  the  part  so  damaged  shall  be  immediately  taken  out  and 
rebuilt  at  once. 

(5) 
CONCRETE   SEWERS. 

(12)  PROPORTIONS:      Cement   concrete   sewers   shall   be   com- 
posed of  one    (1)    part,  by   measure,   of  Portland   cement;    three    (3) 
parts,  by  measure,  of  sand;   five   (5)   parts,  by  measure,  of  gravel  or 
broken  stone. 

Sand  shall  be  clean  and  sharp,  free  from  loam,  vegetable  matter, 
silt  and  dirt. 

The  gravel  or  broken  stone  shall  be  of  hard  durable  material  and 
shall  range  from  one-fourth  (%)  of  an  inch  minimum  to  three  (3) 
inches  in  greatest  dimension  maximum.  If  gravel  is  used  it  shall  be 
graded,  having  not  less  than  forty  (40)  per  cent,  which  will  pass 
through  a  one  (1)  inch  ring.  If  broken  stone  is  used  it  shall  be  the 
run  of  the  crusher  from  which  that  portion  which  will  pass  through 
a  ten  (10)  mesh  sieve  has  been  removed.  When  unscreened  gravel 

57 


is  substituted  for  the  above,  five  (5)  sacks  of  one  and  one-fourth 
(1^4)  barrels  of  Portland  cement  shall  be  added  to  each  yard  of 
gravel.  The  unscreened  gravel  shall  be  a  graded  aggregate  containing 
no  particle  which  will  not  pass  through  a  two  and  one-half  (2^) 
inch  ring.  It  shall  contain  from  thirty-five  (35)  per  cent,  to  forty  (40) 
per  cent.  sand. 

Where  new  work  is  joined  to  old  concrete,  the  surface  of  the  old 
work  shall  be  thoroughly  cleaned  and  moistened,  and  a  bed  of  neat 
mortar  one-fourth  (*4)  of  an  inch  shall  be  used  to  secure  a  bond 
between  them.  No  wheeling,  working  or  walking  on  newly  laid  con- 
crete will  be  allowed  until  it  has  set. 

(13).  INVERT  FACING:  The  concrete  for  invert  facing  shall  be 
composed  of  one  (1)  part,  by  measure,  of  cement;  one  and  one-half 
(1^)  parts,  by  measure,  of  a  graded  gravel  or  broken  stone  ranging 
from  one-fourth  (%)  inch  minimum  to  that  which  will  pass  through 
a  one  and  one-fourth  (1%)  inch  ring  maximum,  and  shall  have  a 
depth  of  not  less  than  two  (2)  inches.  It  shall  be  tamped  into  place 
with  concrete  backing  to  form  a  solid  whole.  All  proportions  for  the 
invert  facing  shall  be  obtained  by  actual  measurement  in  boxes,  and 
no  material  shall  be  used  which  has  not  been  thus  measured.  All 
mixing  shall  be  done  in  boxes  or  upon  water  tight  platforms  or  mixers. 
The  consistency  of  the  concrete  shall  be  that  known  as  a  wet  mixture, 
enough  water  being  used  so  that  it  will  be  plastic  but  not  fluid,  and 
when  tamped  will  cause  water  to  flush  to  the  surface.  If  for  any 
reason  the  concrete  is  so  wet  that  water  rises  to  the  surface  by 
wheeling  or  other  means  of  transport  from  the  mixer  to  the  place  of 
deposit,  it  shall  be  turned  over  and  re-mixed  with  a  shovel  before  it 
is  tamped  into  place. 

The  forms  shall  not  be  struck  until  the  expiration  of  seventy-two 
(72)  hours  after  the  concrete  has  set. 

(6) 
CONCRETE  CONDUITS. 

(14)  CONCRETE:     The  concrete  for  the  side  walls  shall  be  com- 
posed of  one   (1)   part,  by  measure,  of  Portland  cement;    three  and 
one-naif   (3%)   parts,  by  measure,  of  clean  sharp  sand,  and  six    (6) 
parts,  by  measure,  of  gravel  or  broken  stone.     The  gravel  or  broken 
stone  shall  be  a  graded  aggregate  ranging  in  size  from  a  one-fourth 
(iyi)    inch    minimum   up    to   four    (4)    inches    in    greatest   dimension 
maximum. 

If  unscreened  gravel  is  substituted  for  the  above,  one  (1)  barrel 
of  cement  shall  be  added  to  each  yard  of  gravel.  The  gravel  shall  be 
a  graded  aggregate  and  shall  contain  from  thirty-five  (35)  to  forty 
(40)  per  cent.  sand. 

(15)  PLACING:     The  concrete  shall  be  deposited  in  layers  not 
exceeding  nine   (9)   inches  in  thickness,  shall  be  spaded  next  to  the 
forms  to  allow  the  finer  material  to  come  in  contact  with  the  side 
forms,  and  shall  then  be  thoroughly  tamped  until  water  appears  on 
the  surface. 

(16)  COBBLE  STONE  BOTTOM:      The  cobbles  for  the  bottom 
of  the  conduit  shall  be  of  hard  sound  granite  having  a  depth  of  not 
less  than  seven  (7j  inches  and  a  width  of  not  less  than  four  (4 1  inches. 
They  shall  be  thoroughly  bedded  in  two  (2)  inches  of  clean  sand  and 
gravel  previously  rammed  until  solid.     All  stones  shall  bear  on  their 
largest  ends  and  shall  be  rammed  after  being  laid. 

(17)  GROUT:     A  cement  grout  consisting  of  one    (1)    part,  by 
measure,  of  cement  to  three   (3)   parts,  by  measuer,  of  clean  sharp 
sand  shall  then  be  poured  over  the  cobbles,  trowled  into  the  joints 
and  lightly  brushed  so  as  to  form  a  true  even  surface  with  only  a  por- 
tion of  the  face  of  the  cobbles  exposed. 

(18)  REINFORCED  CONCRETE  SLAB:     The  slab  shall  be  com- 
posed of  cement  concrete  in  the  following  proportions: 

One  (1)  part,  by  measure,  of  Portland  cement;  two  (2)  parts,  by 
measure,  of  sand,  and  four  (4)  parts,  by  measure,  of  gravel  or  broken 
stone.  Gravel  or  broken  stone  shall  be  a  graded  aggregate  and  of 
such  size  as  will  pass  through  a  one  and  one-fourth  (1%)  inch  screen 
and  be  retained  on  a  one-fourth  (%)  inch  mesh  screen.  No  unscreened 

58 


gravel  shall  be  used  in  the  concrete  slab.  The  consistency  of  the 
concrete  shall  be  that  known  as  a  "wet  mixture,"  enough  water  being 
used  so  that  it  will  be  plastic  but  not  fluid,  and  when  rammed  and 
tamped  will  cause  water  to  flush  to  the  surface.  If  for  any  reason 
the  concrete  is  so  wet  that  water  rises  to  the  surface  in  wheeling  or 
other  means  of  transport  from  the  mixer  to  the  place  of  deposit,  it 
shall  be  turned  over  and  re-mixed  with  a  shovel  before  it  is  deposited. 

(19)  RAILING:      The  railings  shall  be  constructed  of  the  best 
quality  galvanized  wrought  iron  pipe  having  an  internal  diameter  of 
one  and  one-half  (l1/^)  inches.    The  lower  ends  of  the  pipe  shall  be 
thoroughly  imbedded  in  the  concrete.    After  the  railing  has  been  con- 
structed it  shall  be  painted  with  two  (2)  coats  of  black  carbon  paint. 

(7) 
MANHOLES  AND  CATCH  BASINS. 

(20)  BRICK:     The  brick  used  in  the  brick  manholes  shall  con- 
form to  the  requirements  for  sewer  brick  as  contained  in  these  specifi- 
cations.   All  walls  shall  be  built  of  brick  eight  (8)   inches  thick  and 
in  all  cases  an  eight  (8)  inch  arch  "resting  on  sand  joint  one-half  (%) 
inch  in  thickness  shall  be  turned  over  the  pipe  entering  manholes  but 
the  pipes  entering  the  manholes  shall  not  be  laid  until  the  foundation 
of  the  manhole  is  built  ready  to  receive  it.    Joints  on  the  inside  and 
outside   of   all  brick   manholes    shall   be   flushed   full,   mortared   and 
neatly  struck. 

(21)  CONCRETE:     The  concrete  manholes  shall  be  composed  of 
one   (1)   part,  by  measure,  of  Portland  cement;   three   (3)   parts,  by 
measure,  of  sand,  and  five  (5)  parts,  by  measure,  of  gravel  or  broken 
stone. 

After  mixing  it  shall  be  immediately  placed  in  position  in  layers 
not  exceeding  eight  (8)  inches  in  thickness  and  tamped  and  rammed 
until  it  is  thoroughly  compacted  and  until  free  mortar  appears  on  the 
surface. 

Forms  for  concrete  manholes  shall  be  tight,  having  a  smooth  neat 
surface  and  shall  be  of  sufficient  strength  to  be  unyielding  during 
the  process  of  placing  and  tamping  concrete.  The  forms  shall  not 
be  removed  until  the  cement  is  set. 

(22)  STEPS:     Manholes  shall  be  provided  with  iron  bars  three- 
fourths   (%)   inch  in  diameter,  firmly  and  securely  fastened  into  the 
brick  or  concrete  wall,  and  shall  be  spaced  fifteen  (15)  inches  apart. 

(23)  PLASTER:     The  exposed  surfaces  of  all  concrete  manholes 
and  catch  basins  shall  be  plastered  with  mortar  composed  of  one  (1) 
part,  by  measure,  of  cement,  and  two  (2)  parts,  by  measure,  of  sand. 

(24)  MANHOLE  COVERS:     Cast  iron  manhole  heads  and  covers 
free  from  imperfections  must  be  constructed  of  tough  gray  iron  free 
from  blowholes  and  other  imperfections.     The  quality  shall  be  such 
that  a  blow  from  a  hammer  will  produce  an  indentation  on  a   rec- 
tangular edge  of  the  casting  without  flaking  the  metal.     Before  leav- 
ing the  foundry  all  castings  shall  be  thoroughly  cleaned  and  subjected 
to  a  hammer  inspection,  after  which  they  are  to  be  dipped  in  a  prepara- 
tion of  asphalt  or  coal  tar,  and  oil  applied  at  a  temperature  of  not 
less  than  290  degrees  Fahr.  nor  more  than  310  degrees  Fahr.  in  such 
manner  as  to  form  a  firm  and  tenacious  coating. 

(8) 

CEMENT. 

The  cement  tests  for  all  cement  work,  under  the  specifications 
contained  herein,  shall  be  made  in  accordance  with  the  methods  pro- 
posed by  the  committee  of  Uniform  Tests  of  Cement  of  the  American 
Society  of  Civil  Engineers,  and  shall  be  open  to  contractors. 

(25)  FINENESS:     It  shall  leave  by  weight  a  residue  of  not  more 
than  five  (5)  per  cent,  on  the  No.  100  and  not  more  than  twenty-five 
(25)  per  cent,  on  the  No.  200  sieve. 

(26)  TIME  OF  SETTING:      Initial  set  of  the  cement  shall  not 
be  less  than  thirty   (30)   minutes,  but  must  develop  hard  set  in  not 
less  than  one  (1)  hour  nor  more  than  ten  (10)  hours. 

(27)  TENSILE  STRENGTH:     Requirements  for  tensile  strength 
for  briquettes  one  (1)  inch  square  in  section  shall  be  as  follows: 

59 


NEAT   CEMENT. 
Age.  Pounds 

24  hours  in  moist  air  175 

7  days  (1  day  in  moist  air,  6  days  in  water) 500 

28  days  (1  day  in  moist  air,  27  days  in  water) 600

28  days  (1  day  in  moist  air,  27  days  in  water) 240 

Cement  testing,  neat  below  700  pounds  at  28  days  and  showing 
a  retrogression  below  the  seven  (7)  day  test  shall  be  rejected.  The 
sand  test  must  in  all  cases  show  an  increase  in  strength  at  twenty- 
eight  (28)  days  over  the  seven  (7)  day  test. 

(28)  CONSTANCY  OF  VOLUME:      Pats  of  neat  cement  about 
three   (3)  inches  in  diameter,  one-half   (%)   inch  thick  at  the  center, 
and  tapering  to  a  thin  edge,  shall  be  kept  in  moist  air  for  a  period 
of  twenty-four   (24)  hours. 

(a)  A  pat  is  then  kept  in  the  air  at  normal  temperature  and 
observed  at  intervals  for  at  least  twenty-eight  (28)  days. 

(b)  Another  pat  is  kept  in  water  maintained  as  near  70  degrees 
Pahr.  as  practicable,  and  observed  at  intervals   for  at  least  twenty- 
eight  days. 

(c)  A  third  pat  is  exposed  in  any  convenient  way  in  an  atmos- 
phere of  steam,  above  boiling  water,  in  a  loosely  closed  vessel  for  five 
(5)  hours. 

These  pats,  to  satisfactorily  pass  the  requirements,  shal  remain 
firm  and  hard  and  show  no  signs  of  distortion,  checking  or  cracking 
or  disintegration. 

(9) 
MIXING. 

(29)  CONCRETE:     Unless  a  mixer  is  used  all  concrete  shall  be 
mixed  by  skilled  workmen  on  a  water-tight  platform.     Materials  shall 
be  thoroughly  mixed  and  incorporated  while  dry  by  turning  at  least 
two    (2)    times    so   as   to   form   a   homogeneous    mixture    of   the    in- 
gredients.   Water  shall  then  be  added  in  a  fine  spray  in  such  quantities 
so  as  to  produce  a  uniform  wet  mass  but  not  enough  so  as  to  produce 
a  slush.     While  being  wet  the  whole  mess  shall  be  turned  over  at 
least  twice   more.     No   concrete   shall   be   used   that  shows   evidence 
of  having  set  or  that  has  become  unfit  for  good  work  from  standing 
too  long,  or  from  any  other  cause,  and  no  re-mixing  of  concrete  will 
be  allowed.    After  the  concrete  is  thoroughly  mixed  it  shall  be  rammed 
in  place  without  delay,  and  shall  be  so  placed  and  tamped  so  as  to 
produce  a  smooth  exterior  surface  where  exposed. 

All  sand,  gravel  and  crushed  rock  used  in  construction  shall  be 
dumped  on  planks  in  separate  piles  not  exceeding  two  loads. 

All  proportions  shall  be  obtained  by  actual  measurement  in  boxes 
and  no  material  shall  be  used  which  has  not  been  thus  measured. 

(30)  MORTAR:     The  cement  and  sand  must  be  thoroughly  mixed 
whiel  dry  until  the  mass  assumes  a  uniform  color;   then  water  shall 
be  added  to  give  the  mass  a  proper  consistency. 

Mortar  shall  be  made  fresh  as  needed  and  no  mortar  shall  be 
used  which  has  begun  to  set  and  no  re-tamping  shall  be  allowed. 

Mortar  shall  be  mixed  in  a  water-tight  box  and  in  no  case  on  the 
pavement  or  ground. 

(10) 
STEEL. 

Steel  shapes  shall  be  of  medium  steel  having  an  ultimate  strength 
of  60,000  to  70,000  pounds,  per  square  inch,  with  an  elastic  limit  of  not 
less  than  one-half  the  ultimate  strength.  Steel  shall  stand  bending 
through  180  degrees  around  a  bar  equal  to  the  thickness  of  the  piece 
tested  without  fracture  on  the  outside  of  the  bent  portion.  The 
steel  rods  throughout  shall  be  what  is  known  as  "mild"  steel.  The 
rods  shall  have  an  elastic  limit  of  from  40,000  to  45,000  pounds  per 
square  inch,  and  shall  stand  bending  thorugh  180  degrees  around  a 
bar  of  its  own  diameter  without  showing  any  signs  of  fracture.  All 
steel  must  be  free  from  cracks  and  shall  have  a  clean  smooth  finish. 

60 


Before  being  imbedded  in  the  concrete  the  surface  of  the  steel  shall 
be  thoroughly  cleaned  of  all  dust,  oil,  grease  or  other  matter  that 
may  be  detrimental  to  the  positive  adhesion  to  the  concrete. 

(11) 

FORMS    AND    CENTERING. 

Rigid  forms  and  centering  shall  be  provided  to  receive  the  con- 
crete and  hold  it  in  place  until  firmly  set,  and  shall  be  thoroughly 
sprinkled  before  placing  concrete. 

The  frames  shall  be  of  sufficient  strength  to  carry  the  entire 
dead  weight  of  the  structure  as  a  liquid  without  any  deflection. 

The  forms  shall  have  a  smooth  inside  surface  and  shall  either 
be  beveled  so  as  to  conform  to  the  shape  of  the  structure,  or  tar 
paper  shall  be  placed  over  the  forms  so  that  there  is  no  leakage  of 
the.  liquid  mass.  Forms  and  centering  shall  be  drawn  or  struck  with 
great  care  so  as  not  to  injure  or  crack  the  work. 

(12) 
SPRINKLING. 

(31)  CONCRETE:     All  concrete  work  shall  be  protected  from  the 
sun    and    kept    thoroughly    wet    for    at    least    ten    (10)     days    after 
initial  set. 

(32)  BRICK:      All  brick  work  shall  be  protected  from  the  sun 
and  kept  thoroughly  wet  for  at  least  six  (6)  days  after  construction. 

(13) 
BACKFILLING. 

(33)  VITRIFIED  PIPE  SEWERS:     As  soon  as  the  mortar  joints 
are  sufficiently  set  to  permit  it,  without  injury  to  such  joint,  fine  earth, 
free  from  stones,  shall  be  carefully  deposited  under  and  around  the 
pipe,  and  the  earth  shall  be  placed  in  layers  not  exceeding  six   (6) 
inches   in   thickness.     It  shall  be   thoroughly   compacted  by  tamping 
until  the  filling  is  brought  up  to  one  (1)  foot  above  the  pipe,  and  shall 
be  thoroughly  saturated  with  water.     Special  care  must  be  exercised 
to    not    injure    the    mortar    joints.      After    the    backfilling    has    been 
partially  completed  as  above  specified,  the  remainder  of  the  trench 
may  be  filled  by  using  graders  or  other  means. 

(34)  CONCRETE  AND  BRICK   SEWERS:      Backfilling  on   con- 
crete sewers  shall  not  be  commenced  before  the  expiration  of  at  least 
seventy-two    (72)    hours   after   the   concrete   has   been   placed.     Back- 
filling on  brick  sewers  shall  not  be  commenced  before  the  expiration 
of  twenty-four    (24)    hours   after   the   placing  of  the   exterior  plaster 
coat  on  the  sewer  arch. 

The  material  for  backfilling  shall  be  fine  earth  free  from  stones, 
placed  in  layers  not  exceeding  six  (6)  inches  thick,  carefully  deposited 
by  the  use  of  shovels  and  thoroughly  compacted  by  tamping  until 
the  filling  is  brought  up  to  one  (1)  foot  above  the  sewer.  This  earth 
shall  be  thoroughly  saturated  with  water.  After  the  backfilling  is 
partially  completed  as  above  specified,  the  work  shall  stand  until  the 
cement  has  set  to  such  an  extent  that  the  sewer  will  not  be  injured, 
after  which  the  remainder  of  the  trench  may  be  filled  by  the  use  of 
scrapers  or  other  means. 

(35)  CONCRETE  CONDUITS:     The  backfilling  of  concrete  con- 
duits shall  be  brought  to  the  original  surface  of  the  ground,  provided 
the  excavation  furnishes  sufficient  material. 

Whenever  the  excavation  does  not  furnish  sufficient  material  for 
backfilling,  the  contractor  will  not  be  required  to  supply  such  de- 
ficiency, but  shall  be  required  to  replace  all  material  excavated  in 
any  block  against  the  sidewalls  of  the  conduit  in  that  block  on  a 
slope  of  one  and  one-half  (1%)  to  one  (1). 

(36)  SURPLUS    MATERIAL:      All   surplus    material   excavated, 
and  all  material  not  required  for  backfilling  must  be  removed  from 
the  street  or  right-of-way  at  the  completion  of  the  backfilling;    pro- 
vided, however,  that  whenever  material  is  excavated  from  a  right-of- 
way  and  the  owner  of  the  fee  through  which  said  right-of-way  extends 
notifies  the  contractor  that  he  desires  said  material,  the  surplus  re- 
maining  after   backfilling    the    construction    through    and    across    the 
block  in  which  said  excavation  is  made,  shall  not  be  required  to  be 
removed  by  the  contractor.     (Amended.     See  page  62.)

(37)  UNIMPROVED  STREET  AND  RIGHT-OF-WAY:     Whenever 
a  sewer  is  built  in  any  ungraded  street  or  right-of-way  the  trench 
shall  be  re-filled  to  the  original  surface;   provided,  however,  that  in 
no  case  shall  there  be  less  than  two  and  one-half  (2^)  feet  of  earth 
over  the  sewer.     And  provided,  further,  that  where  a  fill  is  required 
on  which  to  construct  the  sewer  the  fill  shall  be  made  of  good  sound 
earth  built  up  in  layers,  each  layer  being  not  more  than  one  (1)  foot 
thick  and  the  layers  thoroughly  compacted  by  rolling  or  tamping.    The 
width  of  the  side  slopes  of  such  fill  will  be  shown  on  the  plan  or 
profile.     Where  the  trenches  do  not  supply  sufficient  material  or  the 
proper  quality  for   making  the  fill,   the   contractor   shall   supply  the 
deficiency. 

(38)  IMPROVED  STREETS:     In  all  paved,  macadamized,  oiled 
or  otherwise  improved  streets,  the  surface  over  the  trench  shall  be 
finished  by  the  contractor  with  the  same  roadway  material  that  was 
removed  in  re-filling  the  trench,  in  conformity  with  the  specifications 
for   constructing   said   class   of   pavement  last   adopted   by   the   City 
Council  of  the  City  of  Pasadena,  prior  to  the  time  of  signing  of  the

'8  and  9  for  the  construction  of  cement  curbs  and  gutters,  as  adopted 
by  Ordinance  No.  842  of  the  City  of  Pasadena,  and  in  accordance  with 
the  following  additional  requirement:    namely,  the   curb   and  gutter 
shall  be   removed  to   the  next  joint  beyond  the   outermost  exterior 
of  the  catch  basin  frame  work,  and  such  curb  or  gutter  shall  be  re- 
constructed so  that  it  will  neatly  and  thoroughly  join  with  both  the 
catch  basin  and  the  old  curb  and  gutter.

Fibre  tubes  not  surrounded  with  concrete  shall  stand  the  follow- 
ing mechanical  test:  A  section  of  the  tube  shall  be  heated  to  a 
temperature  of  150  degrees  Fahr.  for  one  hour.  It  shall  then  be 
immediately  placed  on  two  (2)  inch  saddle  blocks  on  fifty  (50)  inch 
centers,  and  shall  withstand  a  load  of  three  hundred  fifty  (350)  pounds 
applied  at  the  center  without  breaking  or  changing  the  cross-section 
of  the  bore  more  than  one-eighth  (%)  of  an  inch  from  a  true  circle. 

Where  bends  are  required  on  lateral  fibre  tube  connections  they 
shall  be  of  at  least  thirty-six  (36)  inch  radius.  All  dead  ends  of  fibre 
tubes  shall  be  plugged  with  a  wooden  plug  which  shall  fit  snugly  in 
the  end  of  the  tube.  All  fibre  laterals  shall  drain  toward  its  manhole 
or  vault. 

Fibre  tubes  to  be  surrounded  by  concrete  shall  be  laid  on  a  bed 
of  cement  concrete  three  (3)  inches  in  thickness  with  three  (3)  inches 
of  concrete  on  the  sides  and  three  (3)  inches  of  concrete  on  top  of 
the  nest  of  tubes.  The  bed  of  concrete  shall  be  leveled  off  and  tamped 
to  grade;  a  layer  of  tubes  shall  then  be  laid,  leaving  one  (1)  inch 
between  each  tube  and  three  (3)  inches  between  the  outside  edge  of 
the  tube  and  the  outside  of  the  trench.  Th  space  between  the  ducts 
shall  then  be  completely  filled  with  cement  grout.  A  second  layer  of 
conduits  shall  then  be  laid  in  contact  with  and  vertically  above  the 
first  layer,  after  which  grout  shall  be  poured  around  the  tubes  in  such 
a  manner  as  to  completely  fill  the  space  surrounding  the  tubes.  After 
the  top  line  of  conduits  have  been  laid  and  surrounded  with  cement 
grout,  concrete  to  a  depth  of  three  (3)  inches  shall  be  placed  on  the 
top  of  the  nest  of  tubes. 

"""""""The  joints  of  all  fibre  tubes  before  being  placed  together,  shall 
be  dipped  in  a  hot  compound  suitable  for  sealing  the  joints,  and  shall 
be  used  in  sufficient  quantities  to  prevent  any  leakage  of  water  into 
the  interior  of  the  tube.  All  tubes  shall  be  finished  clean,  free  from 
all  obstructions,  before  the  acceptance  the  work. 

(5) 

WROUGHT  IRON  PIPE. 

Standard  dipped  wrought  iron  pipes  with  screw  joints  shall  be 
used  throughout.  The  threads  and  couplings  shall  be  thoroughly 
painted  with  red  lead  before  the  pipes  are  joined,  but  care  must  be 
taken  to  prevent  any  obstruction  remaining  in  the  pipe  which  would 
prevent  the  pulling  in  of  cables  or  wires.  The  radius  of  all  bends 
of  wrought  iron  pipe  shall  be  as  follows: 

Inside  Diameter 

of  Pipe.  Radius. 

V2  inch.  4  inches. 

%  inch.  6  inches. 

1  inch.  12  inches. 
iy2  inches.  18  inches. 

2  inches  and  over.  36  inches. 

All  ends  of  wrought  iron  pipe  which  do  not  terminate  in  a  man- 
hole or  other  vault,  shall  be  capped  with  a  wrought  iron  cap. 

All  wrought  iron  laterals  shall  drain  toward  the  vault  or  manhole. 

(6) 
VITRIFIED   SALT-GLAZED    PIPE. 

All  vitrified  salt-glazed  pipe  shall  be  first  quality,  sound  and  well 
burned  throughout  their  entire  thickness,  impervious  to  moisture,  and 
shall  give  a  clear  metallic  sound  when  struck.  The  pipe  must  be 
smooth  and  its  interior  surface  must  be  thoroughly  glazed.  The  bore 
of  the  pipe  shall  not  vary  from  a  true  circle  more  than  three  (3)  per 
cent,  of  its  nominal  diameter. 

All  pipes  and  specials  must  be  free  from  injurious  cracks,  checks, 
blisters,  or  broken  rims,  and  shall  have  no  lumps,  blisters,  or  flakes 
on  the  inner  surface  of  the  pipe  or  special.  All  bends  shall  be  made 
with  one  or  more  standard  one-eighth  (%)  bend  of  sewer  tile.  Where 
joints  are  made  between  the  tile  and  iron  pipe  the  joint  shall  be 
wrapped  with  burlap  to  prevent  the  concrete  from  getting  into  the 
interior  of  the  pipe. 

66 


All  vitrified  pipe  laterals  shall  drain  toward  its  vault  or  manhole. 
All  laterals  shall  be  laid  bell  end  of  the  tile  pointing  away  from 
the  vault,  and  the  dead  end  of  all  laterals  shall  be  capped  with  a 
vitrified  cap. 

After  the  trench  has  been  brought  to  the  proper  line  and  grade 
all  pipe  shall  be  laid  therein  in  the  following  manner: 

Before  any  pipe  is  put  into  place  a  small  excavation  shall  be 
made  in  the  previously  prepared  bed  to  receive  the  hub,  so  that  each 
pipe  shall  have  a  firm  and  uniform  bearing  over  its  entire  length.  All 
adjustment  to  line  and  grade  must  be  made  by  scraping  away  or  filling 
in  the  earth  under  the  body  of  the  pipe,  and  not  by  wedging  or  block- 
ing up  the  hub. 

All  pipes  previous  to  their  being  lowered  into  the  trench  shall 
be  fitted  together  and  matched,  so  that  when  joined  in  the  trench 
there  shall  be  no  shoulders  or  unevenness  along  the  lower  half  of  the 
pipe. 

The  faces  of  all  spigot  ends  and  of  all  shoulders  in  the  hubs  or 
sockets  must  be  true  and  brought  into  fair  contact,  and  all  lumps 
and  excrescences  on  said  faces  shall  be  cut  away  before  the  pipe  is 
lowered  into  the  trench. 

(7) 
MANHOLES. 

The  contractor  shall  construct  manholes,  vaults,  junction  cham- 
bers and  other  appurtenances  that  are  called  for  on  said  plans  and 
profiles,  and  fit  them  with  cast  iron  frames  and  covers,  which  shall 
conform  to  the  surface  of  the  pavement. 

Pulling  irons  and  bolts  shall  be  placed  in  the  manhole  when  the 
structure  is  being  constructed. 

Brick  manholes  shall  be  constructed  of  whole  sound  hard  brick 
with  rectangular  surfaces  and  straight  edges,  and  must  give  a  clear, 
ringing  sound  when  struck  together.  They  shall  be  uniform  in  quality 
and  of  standard  dimensions,  viz.,  eight  inches  by  four  inches  by  two 
and  one-fourth  inches  (8  in.  x  4  in.  x  2%  in.)  All  brick  shall  be  subject 
to  the  following  test: 

Three  (3)  or  more  brick  shall  be  broken  across,  thoroughly  dried 
and  weighed,  then  immersed  in  water  for  twenty-four  (24)  hours  and 
weighed  again.  The  absorption  shall  be  determined  by  the  difference 
between  the  two  weights  and,  if  such  absorption  shall  exceed  ten  (10) 
per  cent  of  the  true  weight,  the  brick  from  which  the  samples  for  test 
were  selected  shall  be  rejected. 

All  brick  shall  be  thoroughly  wet  immediately  before  laying. 
Each  brick  shall  be  laid  with  full  mortar  joints  on  its  bed  end  and 
side  and  one  operation.  The  brick  work  shall  be  well  bonded  and 
joints  between  bricks  shall  not  exceed  three-eighths  (%)  of  an  inch 
on  the  inside  of  the  structure.  All  joints  on  the  inside  of  the  struc- 
ture shall  be  neatly  struck  and  pointed  where  plastering  is  not 
specified  on  the  plans.  The  outside  of  all  structures  shall  be  neatly 
plastered  with  mortar  one-half  (%)  of  an  inch  thick.  All  mortar 
used  for  brick  masonry  shall  be  composed  of  one  (1)  part  of  cement 
to  two  and  one-half  (2%)  parts  of  sand,  by  volume. 

Concrete  manholes  shall  be  of  cement  concrete,  composed  of  one 
(1)  part,  by  measure,  of  cement,  three  (3)  parts,  by  measure,  of  clean 
sharp  sand,  and  five  (5)  parts,  by  measure,  of  gravel  or  broken  stones. 

Sand  shall  be  clean  and  sharp,  free  from  loam,  vegetable  matter, 
silt  and  dirt. 

The  gravel  or  broken  stone  shall  be  of  hard,  durable  material  and 
shall  range  from  one-fourth  (^)  of  an  inch  minimum  to  three  (3) 
inches  in  greatest  dimension  maximum.  If  gravel  is  used  it  shall  be 
graded,  having  not  less  than  forty  (40)  per  cent,  which  will  pass 
through  a  one  (1)  inch  ring.  If  broken  stone  is  used  it  shall  be 
the  run  of  the  crusher  from  which  that  portion  which  wi'l  pass 
through  a  ten  (10)  mesh  sieve  has  been  removed.  When  unscreened 
gravel  is  substituted  for  the  above,  five  (5)  sacks,  or  one  and  one- 
fourth  (1^4)  barrels  of  Portland  cement  shall  be  added  to  each  yard 
of  gravel.  The  unscreened  gravel  shall  be  a  graded  aggregate  contain- 
ing nor  particle  which  will  not  pass  through  a  two  and  one-half  (2%') 

67 


inch.. ring.  .  It  ah  all  contain  .from  thirty-five-  -f36).  per  ^ent..  to  .forty  (40) 
per  cent.  sand. 

Where  new  ^rork  is  jbined-to  old 'concrete,  the- surface  of  the  old 
work  shall  be  thoroughly  cleaned  and  moistened,  and  a  bed  of  neat 
mortal*  one-fourth  (}4)  of -an  inch  shall  be 'used  to  secure  a  bond 
between  them.  No  wheeling,  working  or  walking  on  newly  laid  con- 
crete will  be  allowed  until  it  has  set. 

The  materials  entering  the  concrete  shall  l>e  thoroughly  mixed 
and.  incorporated  while  dry,  so  as  to  form  a  homogeneous  mixture 
of  the  ingredients.  After  the  materials  have  been' turned  at  least 
two  times  dry,  water  shall  be  added  in  fine  spray  in  such  quantities 
so  as  to  produce  a  uniform  wet  mass,  not  enough  so  as1  to  produce  a 
slush.  While  being  wet  the  whole  mass  shall  be  turned  over  at  least 
twice  more.  No  concrete  'shall  be  used  that  shows  evidence  of  having

sink  under  or  creep  in  front  of  the  roller.  The  contractor,  how- 
ever, shall  not  be  required  in  such  cases  to  excavate  the  mud  or 
other  soft  material  to  a  greater  depth  than  two  (2)  feet  below  sub- 
grade,  and  shall  not  be  required  to  excavate  rock  to  a  greater  depth 
than  three  (3)  inches  below  the  grade  of  the  completed  pavement. 
The  formation  of  well  defined  ruts  is  specially  prohibited. 

After  the  block  or  section  has  been  graded  as  above  specified 
it  shall  be  watered  sufficiently  for  the  moisture  to  penetrate  all  loose 
earth  and  the  surface  shall  then  be  rolled  with  a  roller  as  hereinafter 
specified,  until  the  surface  is  firm  and  unyielding.  Depressions  made 
by  rolling  shall  be  leveled  up  with  good  earth  and  again  rolled.  Such 
portions  of  the  street  as  cannot  be  reached  by  the  roller,  and  all  places 
excavated  below  sub-grade  and  refilled,  and  all  pipe  trenches  and 
other  places  that  cannot  be  properly  compacted  by  the  roller,  shall 
be  tamped  solid,  and  in  cases  of  wet  weather  or  soft  or  muddy  ground, 
making  the  use  of  the  roller  unsafe  or  imparcticable,  the  rolling  shall 
not  be  undertaken  until  the  ground  has  become  sufficiently  dry. 

The  contractor  shall  notify  the  Superintendent  of  Streets  when  a 
block  or  section  has  been  brought  to  sub-grade,  when  the  latter  will 
check  the  elevation  of  the  same,  and  if  the  work  is  found  to  be  in 

71 


accordance  with  the  specifications  and  grades  given,  the  contractor 
shall  proceed  as  hereinafter  specified.

BROKEN  STONE  FOUNDATION. 

Upon  the  sub-grade  prepared  as  above  specified,  shall  be  spread 
a  layer  of  broken  stone  of  such  thickness  that,  when  thoroughly  rolled 
with, a  roller  hereinafter,  specified,  the  surface  shall  be  four  (4)  inches 
above  sub-grade.  All  portions  of  the  broken  stone  foundation  that 
cannot  be  reached  by  the  roller  shall  be  tamped  to  grade.  All  depres- 
sions made  by  the  roller  must  be  filled  with  fresh  material,  and  again 
rolled.  The  rolling  must  continue  until  the  surface  is  hard  and  com- 
pact and  does  not  yield  under  the  roller. 

The  broken  stone  shall  be  hard  durable  material,  uniform  in 
quality. and  shall  not  exceed  three  (3)  inches  in  the  largest  dimen- 
sions. Stone  of  a  round  form  that  will  not  bind  well  shall  either  be 
broken  or  removed  from  the  street.  On  this  foundation  shall  be 
evenly  spread  a  coating  of  asphalt  p*aving  cement  having  a  penetra- 
tion of  between  70'  deg.  and  80 'deg.  Dow  standard  at  78  deg.  Fahr., 
using  one  (1)  gallon  per  square  yard,  and  it  shall  be  poured  at  a  tem- 
perature between  200  deg.  and  300  deg.  Fahr.  The  asphalt  paving 
cement  shall  be  prepared  from  California  asphaltic  oil,  and  shall  be 
adhesive  and  ductile  and  also  slightly  elastic  at  a  -temperature  of 
thirty-two  (32)  degrees  Fahr.  When  twenty  (20)  grammes  are  heated 
to  a., temperature  of  three  hundred  (300)  degrees  Fahr.,  for  five  (5> 
consecutive  hours  in  an  uncovered  cylinderical  dish  three  and  one- 
half  (Syz)  centimeters  high  by  five  and  one-half  (5  %)  centimeters  in 
diameter,  it  shall  not  lose  more  than  one  (1)  per  cent  in. weight,  and 
its  penetration  shall  not  be  reduced  as  a  result,  of  such  heating  more 
than  50  per  cent. 

It  shall,  when  ready  for  use,  contain  at  least  ninety-nine  (99) 
per  cent  of  bitumen  soluble  in  carbon  disulphide.  It  shall 
be  soluble  in  carbon  tetrachloride  to  the  extent  of  at  least 
ninety-seven  and  one-half  (97%)  per  cent  when  two  hundred 
(200)  cubic  centimeters  of  the  solvent  are  poured  on  one  (1)  gramme 
of  the  asphaltic  cement  and  the  mixture  is  allowed  to  stand  for  eigh- 
teen (18)  hours  at  a  temperature  of  twenty-five  (25)  degrees  centi- 
grade and  filtered  at  twenty-five  (25)  degrees  centigrade.  Not  less 
than  seventy  (70)  per  cent  shall  be  soluble  in  eighty-six  (86)  degrees 
naptha  when  one  hundred  fifty  (150)  cubic  centimeters  of  the  solvent 
are  poured  on  one-half  (%)  gramme  of  the, finely  divided  asphaltic 
cement  and  the  mixture  is  allowed  to  stand  for  eighteen  (18)  hours 
at  a  temperature  of  twenty-five  (25)  degrees  centigrade  and  filtered 
at  twenty-five  (25)  degrees  centigrade.  It  shall  not  contain  more 
than  fifteen  (15)  per  cent  of  fixed  carbon  on  ignition.

BITULITHIC  WEARING   SURFACE. 

On  the  foundation  previously  prepared  and  thoroughly  swept  free 
from  all  rubbish  shall  be  laid  the  bitulithic  wearing  surface,  which 
shall  be  prepared  as  hereinafter  specified,  and  composed  of  the  fol- 
lowing materials:  .  :  . 

(1)  Broken  stone. 

(2)  Bitulithic  Water  Proof  Cement. 

(3)  Sand  and  Stone  Dust. 

The  broken  stone  shall  be  hard  tough  rock,  roughly  cubical  in 
shape,  free  from  loam  or  organic  matter,  and  shall  stand  the  test 
hereinafter  prescribed.  The  Bitulithic  Water  Proof  Cement  shall 
be  refined  from  crude  liquid  asphalt.  The  sand  shall  be  clean,  hard 
grained  and  sharp  and  shall  not  t contain  more  than  three  (3)  per 
cent  of  loam,  clay  or  other  earthy  impurities,  and  shall  all  pass  a  ten 
(10)  mesh  to  the  inch  screen.  The  stone  dust  shall  be  finely  powdered 
lime  stone  or  other  hard  and  durable  rock  or  Portland  cement,  as  the 
contractor  elects,  and  shall  be  of  such  fineness  that  all  of.it  will  pass 
a  fifty  (50)  mesh  to  the  inch  screen  and  at  least  sixty-six  (66)  per 
cent  shall  pass  a  two  hundred  (200)  mesh  to  the  inch  screen.  The 
stone  shall  be  passed  through  a  screen  having  various;  sized  open- 
ings from  one  and  one-half  (1%)  inches  maximum  to  one-tenth  (1-10) 
inch  minimum  diameter.  The  difference  in  the  widths  of  openings 

72 


in  successive  screened  sections  shall  not  exceed  one-fourth-  (^)  inch 
in  sections  having  openings  smaller  than  one-half  (V£ )  inch,  and  shall 
not  exceed  one-half  (y2)  inch  in  sections  having  openings  greater  than 
one-half  (*£)  inch. 

Each  size  of  stone  thus  separated  by  the  screen  shall  pass,  into 
a  separate  bin  or  receptacle.  The  stone  from  each  bin  shall  be 
accurately  weighed  and  the  several  sizes,  of  stone  and  the  sand  and 
stone  dust  shall  be  combined  in  the  following  proportions. by  weight:

mesh  to  the  inch  screen .- 24  to  £2 

Passing  200  mesh  to  the  inch  screen : 4  to  7 

From  sixty  (60)  per  cent  to  eighty  (80)  per  cent  of  the  aggregate 
passing  a  ten  (10)  mesh  screen  shall  pass'  a  forty  (40)  mesh  to  the 
inch  screen  'and  from  fifteen  (15'):  per  cent  to  thirty  (30)  per  cent 
of  the  sand  shall  pass  an  eighty  (80)  mesh  to  the  inch  screen. 

If  the  composition  contains  the  ingredients  aforesaid  and  within 
the  percentages  above  fixed,  it  will  be  accepted  as  in  compliance  with 
this  paragraph.  The  broken  stone  and  sand  in  the  proportions  here- 
tofore given  shall  be  heated  in  such  driers  as  -will  permit  it  to  be 
uniformly  heated  and  each,  batch  of  mineral  aggregate  so  composed 
of  the  different  sizes  accurately  weighed  as  above,  shall  pass  while 
hot  into  a  mixer  where  Bitulithic  Water  Proof  Cement,  previously 
heated  from  200  degrees  to  250  degrees  Fahr.,  shall  be  incorporated 
with  the  heated  stone  until  the  combination  is  a  uniform  bitumious 
concrete.  The  amount  of  bitulithic  cement  used  in  each  batch  shall 
be  from  seven  (7)  per  cent  to  nine  and  one-naif  (9%)  by  weight  of 
the  weight  of  the  bitulithic  surface  mixture,  and  shall  be  accurately 
weighed  and  used  in  such  proportion  as  will  thoroughly  coat  each 
particle  of  stone  and  fill  all  voids  in  the  mixture. 

The  surface  mixture  prepared  as  above  shall  be  brought  to  the 
work  in  covered  carts  or  dump  wagons,  and  shall  not  be  cooler  than 
200  degrees  Fahr.,  when  deposited  on  street.  It  shall  at  once  be  uni- 
formly spread  over  the  foundation  to  suoh  a  depth  that,  after  receiv- 
ing its  ultimate  compression  the  finished  surface  shall  have  a  thick- 
ness of  not  less  than  two  (2)  inches.  It  shall  then  be  immediately 
rolled  with  a  roller,  as  hereinafter  specified,  having  a  compression 
of  not  less  than  three  hundred  (300)  pounds  to  the  linear  inch  width 
of  tire,  until  the  surface  is  unyielding,  true  to  grade  and  cross-section. 

The  completed  bitulithic  surface  shall  be  a  solid,  dense,  bitumin- 
ous concrete,  the  mineral  aggregate  of  which  shall  have  a  high  degree 
of  inherent  stability.  And  the  completed  bitulithic  surface  shall  have 
at  least  ninety  (90)  per  cent  of  the  specific  gravity  of  the  solid  rock. 

No  pavement  shall  be  laid  in  rainy  weather  or  when  the  founda- 
tion is  wet  from  rain  or  any  other  cause. 

(7)' 
SURFACE    FINISH. 

Upon  the  bitulithic  wearing  surface  shall  be  spread  a  thin  uniform 
coating  of  bitulithic  flush  coat  composition^  by  means  of  a  spreading 
machine  so  designed  as  to  spread  quickly  and  evenly,  the  desired 
amount  of  flush  coat  composition  over  the  wearing  surface<  This 
flush  coat  composition  shall  be  applied  at  the  rate  of  one-fourth  (^4) 
gallon  per  square  yard  of  paving  surface  at  a  temperature  sufficient 
to  cause  the  bitulithic  composition  to  flow  freely  but  not  exceeding 
two  hundred  and  fifty  (250)  degrees  Fahr. 

While  the  flush  coat  composition  is  still  warm  at  least  two  <2) 
coats  of  stone  screenings  not  greater  than  one-fourth  (*4)  inch  in 
their  largest  dimension  of  the  same  character  as  the  wearing  surface 
rock,  shall  be  spread  over  the  surface  of  the  pavement,  at- a  temper- 

73 


ature  of  200  degrees  Fahr.  to  250  degrees  Fahr.,  in  such  a  manner 
as  to  rapidly  and  uniformly  cover  the  surface  of  the  pavement,  using 
not  less  than  one  (1)  cubic  yard  of  screenings  to  one  hundred  (100) 
square  yards  of  wearing  surface.  The  surface  shall  then  be  rolled 
with  a  roller,  as  hereinafter  specified,  until  the  pavement  becomes  cool. 
On  grades  over  four  (4)  per  cent  shall  be  used  a  mineral  flush 
coat  prepared  by  mixing  the  flush  coat  composition  with  one-fourth 
(14)  inch  hot  stone  screenings  applied  while  hot  and  rolled  into  the 
surface  to  provide  a  rougher  surface. 

(8) 
HEADER. 

Whenever  the  pavement  does  not  terminate  against  a  curb,  gutter, 
railway  track,  or  other  pavement,  the  contractor  shall  provide  and 
lay  upon  the  line  of  said  termination  a  header  of  red-wood  plank  two 
(2)  inches  thick  and  at  least  eight  (8)  inches  wide.  The  top  edge 
of  the  plank  shall  conform  to  the  cross-sections  of  the  street  when 
finished  and  shall  be  dipped  in  liquid  asphalt  before  being  put  in  place. 

(9) 
ROLLING. 

The  rolling  herein  specified  for  the  sub-grade  and  the  rock  base 
wearing  surface  and  the  surface  finish  shall  be  done  with  a  roller 
having  a  compression  of  not  less  than  three  hundred  (300)  pounds 
to  the  linear  inch  width  of  tire. 

(10) 
ABRASION  TEST. 

The  broken  stone  used  in  the  bitulithic  wearing  surface  and  the 
surface  finish  shall  not  lose  more  than  nineteen  (19)  per  cent,  of  its 
weight  after  being  exposed  to  abrasion  and  fracture  in  a  cubical 
testing  machine  nine  (9)  inches  on  a  side  inside  dimension,  support 
on  trunnions  at  two  diagonal  vertices,  and  having  one-tenth  (1-10) 
inch  circular  openings  at  all  other  vertices.  In  making  the  test  the 
rattler  shall  revolve  at  a  uniform  rate  of  60  R.  P.  M.,  for  ten  thousand 
(10,000)  revolutions.  Only  the  percentage  of  material  worn  off  which 
will  pass  through  a  ten  (10)  mesh  screen  shall  be  considered  in  deter- 
mining the  amount  of  abrasion. 

The  broken  stone  used  in  the  test  shall  be  of  a  size  which  will 
pass  a  one  and  one-half  (1%)  inch  ring  and  will  be  retained  on  a 
one  and  one-fourth  (l1^)  inch  ring,  and  the  amount  of  broken  stone 
used  when  making  the  test  shall  be  one  thousand  (1,000)  grammes. 

(11) 
GENERAL  REQUIREMENTS. 

All  the  work  shall  in  every  respect  be  executed  in  a  thorough 
and  workmanlike  manner.  The  contractor  is  required  to  preserve 
all  monuments  and  all  stakes  set  for  lines,  levels  or  measurements 
for  work  in  their  proper  places,  until  authorized  to  remove  them  by 
the  City  Engineer  and  any  expense  in  replacing  said  monuments  or 
stakes,  which  the  contractor  or  his  subordinates  may  have  failed  to 
preserve  shall  be  borne  by  the  contractor. 

No  work  which  may  be  defective  in  its  construction,  or  deficient 
in  any  of  the  requirements  of  these  specifications,  will  be  considered 
as  accepted  in  consequence  of  the  failure  of  any  officer  of  the  City 
or  inspector  connected  with  the  work,  to  point  out  said  defects  or 
deficiency  during  the  construction  and  the  contractor  shall  be  required 
to  correct  any  imperfect  work,  before  the  final  acceptance  of  the  work. 

The  contractor  assumes  all  risk  of  variance  in  any  computation 
or  statement  of  amounts  of  quantities  necessary  to  complete  the  work 
required  by  the  contract,  and  agrees  to  furnish  all  necessary  labor 
and  material,  and  to  fully  complete  said  work  in  accordance  with 
the  plans  and  specifications,  and  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  Street  Super- 
intendent and  City  Engineer. 

Bidders  must  examine  and  judge  for  themselves  as  to  the  loca- 
tion of  the  proposed  work,  the  nature  of  the  excavation  to  be  made, 
and  the  work  to  be  done. 

The  contractor  shall  give  twenty-four  (24)  hours'  notice  in  writing 
when  he  shall  require  the  services  of  the  City  Engineer  for  laying 

74 


out  any  portion  of  the  work.     He  shall  dig  all  stake  holes  necessary 
to  give  lines  and  levels. 

The  contractor  shall  be  required  to  remove  at  his  own  expense, 
all  obstructions,  such  as  trees,  stones,  debris,  etc.,  that  may  be  in 
the  way  of  making  said  improvements. 

The  contractor  will  be  required  to  observe  all  the  ordinances  of 
the  City  of  Pasadena  in  relation  to  the  obstruction  of  streets,  keeping 
open  passage  ways,  and  protecting  the  same  by  creating  a  fence  or 
proper  barrier  along  the  line  of  the  work  and  across  the  ends  of  the 
same  in  order  to  guard  the  public  effectively  from  danger  during  the 
progress  of  the  work,  and  he  shall  post  all  proper  notices  and  signals 
to  the  public  of  the  state  of  the  street  while  the  work  is  in  progress. 

A  red  light  must  be  maintained  at  night  at  each  end  of  the  bar- 
riers from  sunset  until  sunrise. 

In  case  it  should  be  necessary  to  move  the  property  of  any  owner 
of  a  public  utility,  or  franchise,  such  owner  will,  upon  application  by 
the  contractor,  be  notified  by  the  Street  Superintendent  to  move  such 
property  within  a  specified  reasonable  time,  and  the  contractor  shall 
not  interfere  with  said  property  until  after  the  expiration  of  the  time 
specified. 

The  right  is  reserved  to  the  City  and  owners  of  public  utilities 
and  franchises  to  enter  upon  the  street  for  the  purpose  of  making 
repairs  or  cahnges  that  may  become  necessary  by  the  work. 

The  contractor  shall  remove  all  surplus  material  and  rubbish  from 
the  work  after  its  completion  and  before  he  makes  application  for  the 
acceptance  of  the  work. 

The  contractor  shall  notify  the  Street  Superintendent  when  he 
desires  a  final  inspection  of  the  work,  when  the  latter  will,  as  soon  as 
possible,  make  the  necessary  examination,  and  if  the  work  is  found  in 
compliance  with  the  above  specifications,  the  Street  Superintendent 
will  furnish  the  contractor  with  a  certificate  to  that  effect. 

Whenever  the  word  "Contractor"  is  used  in  these  specifications 
it  refers  to  the  party  or  parties  of  the  second  part  in  the  agreement 
for  the  construction  of  the  work  herein  specified. 

Whenever  the  words  "Street  Superintendent"  or  "City  Engineer" 
are  used  in  these  specifications  they  refer  respectively  to  the  Street 
Superintendent  and  the  City  Engineer  of  the  City  of  Pasadena,  or  their 
authorized  agents  or  inspectors. 

Sec.  2.  The  City  Clerk  shall  certify  to  the  adoption  of  this  ordi- 
nance and  cause  the  same  to  be  published  once  in  Pasadena  Daily 
News.

The  Mayor  and  City  Council  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  do  ordain  as 
follows : 

Secion  1.  That  "Specifications  No.  19  for  Oiling  Streets  in  the 
City  of  Pasadena  with  Asphaltic  Oil"  shall  be  as  herein  and  are  hereby 
as  such  adopted. 

(1) 

The  work  herein  provided  for  is  to  be  done  in  accordance  with 
the  plans,  profiles  and  cross-sections  on  file  in  the  office  of  the  City 
Engineer  of  the  City  of  Pasadena,  and  all  work  shall,  during  its  prog- 
ress and  on  its  completion,  conform  to  the  lines  and  levels  which  may 

75 


from  time  to  time  be  given  by  the  ,Ctt>y  Engineer,  in  accordance  there- 
with, ..       , 

.       (2)  ; 

WORK. 

The  work  to  be  done  is  as  follows: 

(1.)  To  e^xcaVate  or  fill  in  the  area  upon  which  the  oiling  herein 
provided  for  is  to  be  performed  to  such  an  extent  as  may  be  required 
by  the  plans' and  profiles 'and  these  specifications. 

(2)  To    place    thereon    broken    stone    foundation'   and    surfacing 
materials  and  to  roll  and  oil  the  same  as  hereinafter  specified. 

(3)  To  furnish  all  materials'  and  tools  necessary  to  perform  said 
work  and  canstruct  the  same. 

(4)  To  do  whatever  else  is  required  by  these  specifications. 

.      (3) 
SUB-GRADE. 

The  sub-grade  Tshall  be  parallel  to  and  two  (2)  inches  below 
the  surface  of  the  finished  work. 

(4) 
GRADING.     . 

When  grading  is  required  it  shall  include  the  removal  of  all 
earth,  stone  and  all  other  materials  that  -may  be  encountered  and 
shall  include  also  , all  filling,  trimming,  or  other  work  that  may  be 
necessary  in  bringing  the  surface  to  the  required  sub-grade. 

After  a  section  has  been  graded  as  above  specified,  it  shall  be 
watered-  sufficiently  for  the  moisture  to  penetrate  all  the  loose  earth 
and  the  surface  shall  then  be  either  thoroughly  tamped,  or  rolled  with 
a  roller  having  an  effective  compressive  weight  of  not  less  than  three 
hundred  fifty  <350)  pounds  to  the  lineal  inch  width  of  tire,  until  the 
surface  is  firm -and  unyielding.  Depressions  made  by  rolling  shall  be 
leveled  up  with  good  earth  and  again  rolled.  All  pipe  trenches  and 
other  places  that  cannot  be  properly  compacted  by  the  roller,  shall 
be  tamped  solid,  and  in  cases  of  wet  weather  or  soft  or  muddy  ground, 
making  the  use  of  the  roller  unsafe  and  impracticable,  the  rolling  shall 
not  be  undertaken  until  the  ground  has  become  sufficiently  dry.

BROKEN   STONE   FOUNDATION. 

After  the  sub-grade  shall  have  been  prepared  as  above. specified, 
examined  by  the  Street  Superintendent  and  a  certificate  of  accptance 
issued  by  him,  a  layer  of  crushed  stone  which  will  pass  through  a  two 
and  one-half  (2%)  screen  and  be  retained  on  a  one  and. one-half  (1%) 
inch  screen  graduated  in  size,  shall  be  placed  to  such  a  depth  that,

ORDINANCE   NO.  1159. 


An    Ordinance    of   the   City   of    Pasadena    Adopting    Specifications   for 
Oiling  Streets  in  the  City  of  Pasadena  With  Asphaltic  Oil. 


The  Mayor  and  City  Council  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  do  ordain  as 
follows : 

Section  1.  That  "Specifications  No.  18  for  Oiling  Streets  in  the 
City  of  Pasadena  with  Asphaltic  Oil"  shall  be  as  herein  and  are  hereby 
as  such  adopted. 

(1) 
WORK  TO  BE  DONE. 

The  work  to  be  done  is  as  follows: 

(1)  To  excavate  or  fill  in  the  area  upon  which  the  oiling  herein 
provided  for  is  to  be  performed  to  such  an  extent  as  may  be  required 
to  bring  the  surface  to  the  required  sub-grade. 

(2)  To  place  thereon  broken  stone  and  surfacing  materials  and 
to  roll  and  oil  the  same  as  hereinafter  specified. 

78 


(3)  To  furnish  all  materials  and  tools  necessary  to  perform  said 
work  and  construct  the  same. 

(4)  To  do  whatever  else  is  required  by  these  specifications. 

(2) 
GRADING. 

When  grading  is  required  it  shall  include  the  removal  of  all 
earth,  stone  and  all  other  materials  that  may  be  encountered  and  shall 
include  also  all  filling,  trimming,  or  other  work  that  may  be  neces- 
sary in  bringing  the  surface  to  the  required  sub-grade. 

After  a  section  has  been  graded  as  above  specified,  it  shall  be 
watered  sufficiently  for  the  moisture  to  penetrate  all  the  loose  earth 
and  the  surface  shall  then  be  either  thoroughly  tamped,  or  rolled  with 
a  roller  having  an  effective  compressive  weight  of  not  less  than  three 
hundred  fifty  (350)  pounds  to  the  lineal  inch  width  of  tire,  until  the 
surface  is  firm  and  unyielding.  Depressions  made  by  rolling  shall  be 
leveled  up  with  good  earth  and  again  rolled.  All  pipe  trenches  and 
other  pieces  that  cannot  be  properly  compacted  by  the  roller,  shall 
be  tamped  solid,  and  in  case  of  wet  weather  or  soft  or  muddy  ground, 
making  the  use  of  the  roller  unsafe  and  impracticable,  the  rolling  shall 
not  be  undertaken  until  the  ground  has  become  sufficiently  dry. 

The  contractor  shall  notify  the  Street  Superintendent  when  a  sec- 
tion has  been  brought  to  the  final  sub-grade  whereupon  it  shall  be 
tested  for  grade  and  cross  section,  and  when  found  satisfactory  in  all 
respects  the  Street  Superintendent  shall  issue  his  certificate  to  that 
effect,  after  which,  but  not  before,  the  oiling  may  proceed. 

(3) 

OILING. 

Upon  the  roadway  asphaltic  oil  shall  be  evenly  applied  at  the  rate 
of  three  fourths  (%)  gallon  to  the  square  yard  of  street  surface,  after 
which  a  layer  of  crushed  rock  which  will  pass  through  a  one  and  one- 
half  (1%)  inch  ring  and  be  retained  on  a  one-fourth  (*4)  inch  mesh 
screen  graduated  in  size,  shall  be  evenly  spread  to  a  depth  of  one  (1) 
inch.  After  the  surface  has  been  rolled  a  second  coating  of  asphaltic 
oil  shall  be  applied  at  the  rate  of  one-half  (%)  gallon  per  square  yard 
of  street  surface.  Rock  screenings  (one-fourth  (*4)  inch  and  under 
in  size  and  free  from  dust)  shall  then  be  spread  on  the  surface  to  a 
depth  of  one-half  (%)  inch,  after  which  the  surface  shall  be  watered 
and  thoroughly  rolled  until  it  becomes  hard  and  smooth  and  free  from 
all  hollows  and  irregularities. 

(4) 

ASPHALTIC  OIL. 

The  asphaltic  oil  used  as  herein  provided  shall  be  applied  at  a 
temperature  of  not  less  than  220  degrees  Fahr.  nor  more  than  260 
degrees  Fahr.  It  shall  be  an  asphaltic  oil  with  no  admixture  with 
any  artificial  or  refined  products,  and  shall  contain  not  less  than 
eighty-five  (85)  per  cent  of  asphaltum  at  eighty  (80)  degrees  penetra- 
tion District  of  Columbia  Standard,  when  twenty  (20)  grammes  are 
heated  to  a  temperature  of  400  degrees  Fahr.  in  an  uncovered  cylindri- 
cal dish  two  and  one-fourth  (2*4)  inches  in  diameter.  The  asphaltic 
oil  shall  contain  not  more  than  two  (2)  per  cent,  of  sulphur  and  the 
residuum  at  eighty  (80)  degrees  penetration  shall  not  contain  more 
than  two  and  one-half  (2%)  per  cent,  of  sulphur.  The  residuum  shall 
be  soluble  in  carbon  tetra-chloride  to  the  extent  of  at  least  ninety-nine 
and  eight-tenths  (99.8)  per  cent,  and  the  oil  shall  not  contain  more 
than  two  (2)  per  cent,  of  water  and  sediment.

soft  material  to  a  greater  depth  than  two  (2)  feet  below  sub-grade. 

After  a  section  has  been  graded  as  above  specified  it  shall  be 
watered  sufficiently  for  the  moisture  to  penetrate  all  the  loose  earth 
and  the  surface  shall  then  be  either  thoroughly  tamped,  or  rolled  with 
a  roller  having  an  effective  compressive  weight  of  not  less  than  three 
hundred  fifty  (350)  pounds  to  the  lineal  inch  width  of  tire,  until  the 

81 


surface  is  firm  and  unyielding.  Depressions  made  by  rolling  shall 
be  leveled  up  with  good  earth  and  again  rolled.  All  pipe  trenches 
and  other  places  that  cannot  be  properly  compacted  by  the  roller,  shall 
be  tamped  solid,  and  in  cases  of  wet  weather  or  soft  or  muddy  ground, 
making  the  use  of  the  roller  unsafe  and  impracticable,  the  rolling  shall 
not  be  undertaken  until  the  ground  has  become  sufficiently  dry. 

The  contractor  shall  notify  the  Superintendent  of  Streets  when 
a  section  has  been  brought  to  sub-grade,  when  the  iatter  will  check 
the  elevation  of  the  same,  and  if  the  work  is  found  to  be  in  accord- 
ance with  the  specifications  and  grades  given,  the  Superintendent  of 
Streets  shall  issue  a  certificate  stating  that  the  sub-grade  is  accep- 
table in  these  respects.

BKOKEN  STONE  FOUNDATION. 

Upon  the  sub-grade  prepared  as  above  specified  shall  be  spread  a 
layer  of  crushed  rock  that  will  pass  through  a  three  and  one-half  (3^) 
inch  ring  and  be  retained  on  a  one  and  three-fourths  (1%)  inch  ring, 
graduated  in  size,  to  such  a  depth  that  after  being  thoroughly  sprinkled 
and  rolled  with  a  roller  having  an  effective  compressive  weight  of  not 
less  than  three  hundred  fifty  (350)  pounds  to  a  lineal  inch  width 
of  tire,  the  surface  shall  be  two  (2)  inches  below  the  surface  of  the 
finished  pavement.  Such  portions  of  the  surface  as  cannot  be  reached 
by  the  roller  shall  be  tamped  to  grade.  All  depressions  shall  be 
filled  with  fresh  material,  sprinkled  and  again  rolled. 

As  the  rolling  of  the  broken  stone  foundation  progresses  rock 
screenings  of  a  size  that  will  pass  through  a  one  and  three-fourths 
(1%)  inch  ring  and  be  retained  on  a  one-half  (%)  inch  ring  shall  be 
spread  over  a  surface  in  sufficient  quantities  to  thoroughly  bind  the 
broken  stone  foundation  and  form  a  true  surface. 

The  sprinkling  and  rolling  shall  continue  until  the  stone  founda- 
tion forms  one  solid  mass  which  will  not  yield  under  the  weight  of  the 
roller. 

Upon  the  base  prepared  as  above  specified  shall  be  applied  asphal- 
tic  oil  at  tne  rate  of  one-half  (%)  gallons  to  each  square  yard  of  street 
surface. 

(6) 
WEARING  SURFACE. 

After  the  broken  stone  base  shall  have  been  prepared  as  above 
specified,  examined  by  the  Superintendent  of  Streets  and  a  certifi- 
cate of  acceptance  issued  by  him,  a  layer  of  broken  stone,  which  will 
pass  through  a  one  and  three  fourths  (1%)  inch  ring  and  be  retained 
on  a  three-fourths  (%)  inch  ring,  graduated  in  size,  shall  be  evenly 
spread  over  the  rock  base  to  such  thickness  that  after  being  thorough- 
ly sprinkled  and  rolled  with  a  roller  having  an  effective  compressive 
weight  of  not  less  than  three  hundred  fifty  (350)  pounds  to  the  lineal 
inch  width  of  tire,  the  surface  shall  be  parallel  with  and  one-half  (%) 
inch  below  the  grade  of  the  finished  pavement. 

Asphaltic  oil  shall  then  be  applied  at  the  rate  of  one   (1)  gallon 
to  each  square  yard  of  street  surface,  after  which  a  layer  of  broken  , 
stone,  which  will  pass  through  a  three-fourths  (%)  inch  ring  and  be 
retained  on  a  one-fourth  (%)  inch  mesh  screen,  graduated  in  size,  shall 
be  evenly  spread  to  a  depth  of  one-half  (%)  inch  in  thickness. 

The  surface  shall  then  be  thoroughly  watered  and  ro  led,  followed 
by  a  coating  of  asphaltic  oil,  applied  at  the  rate  of  one-half  (M>)  gal- 
lon per  square  yard  of  street  surface.  After  spreading  a  light  coating 
of  rock  screenings  (one-fourth  (*4)  inch  and  under  in  size  and  free 
from  dust)  sufficient  to  absorb  all  surplus  oil  and  produce  a  uniform 
surface  of  pavement,  it  shall  be  watered  and  thoroughly  rolled  until 
it  becomes  hard  and  smooth,  true  to  grade  and  cross-sections  and  free 
from  all  hollows  and  irregularities. 

(7) 

ASPHALTIC  OIL. 

The  asphaltic  oil  used  as  herein  provided  shall  be  applied  at  a 
temperature  of  not  less  than  250  degrees  Fahr.  nor  morp  than  300 
degrees  Fahr.  It  shall  be  an  asphaltic  oil  with  no  admixture  with 
any  artificial  or  refined  products,  and  shall  contain  not  less  than 
ninety-two  (92)  per  cent,  of  asphaltum  at  eighty  (80)  degrees  penetra-

a  temperature  of  four  hundred  (400)  degrees  Fahr.  in  an  uncovered 
cylindrical  dish  two  and  one-fourth  (2}i)  inches  in  diameter.  The 
residuum  at  eighty  (80)  degrees  penetration  shall  not  contain  more 
than  two  and  one-half  (2%)  per  cent,  of  sulphur  and  shall  be  soluble 
in  carbon  tetra-chloride  to  the  extent  of  at  least  ninety-nine  and 
eight-tenths  (99.8)  per  cent.,  and  the  oil  shall  not  contain  more  than 
two  (2)  per  cent  of  water  and  sediment. 

(8) 
BROKEN  STONE. 

The  broken  stone  shall  be  a  hard,  durable  material  that  crushes 
with  sharp  fractures  and  shall  be  uniform  in  character.  It  shall  con- 
tain no  rock  that  has  not  been  fractured  and  shall  not  contain  more 
than  ten  per  cent,  of  rock  having  rounded  surfaces. 

The  broken  stone  used  in  the  broken  stone  foundation  shall  not 
lose  more  than  30  per  cent,  of  its  weight  after  being  tested  in  the 
manner  hereinafter  specified  in  the  abrasion  machine  maintained  by 
the  City  of  Pasadena. 

The  broken  stone  for  the  wearing  surface  shall  not  lose  more 
than  23  per  cent,  of  its  weight  after  being  tested  in  the  manner  here- 
inafter specified  in  the  abrasion  machine  maintained  by  the  City  of 
Pasadena. 

(9) 
ABRASION  MACHINE. 

The  abrasion  machine  above  referred  to  is  cubical  in  shape  and 
nine  (9)  inches  on  a  side  inside  dimension.  It  is  supported  on  trun- 
nions at  two  diagonal  vertices  and  has  1-10  inch  circular  openings  at 
all  other  vertices.  In  making  the  test  it  shall  revolve  at  a  uniform 
rate  of  60  R.  P.  M.  for  ten  thousand  (10,000)  revolutions.  Only  the 
percentage  of  material  worn  off  which  will  pass  through  a  ten  (10) 
mesh  screen  shall  be  considered  in  determining  the  amount  of  abra- 
sion. 

The  broken  stone  used  in  the  test  shall  be  of  a  size  which  will 
pass  through  a  one  and  one-half  (1%)  inch  ring  and  will  be  retained 
on  a  one  and  one-fourth  (1*4)  inch  ring  and  the  amount  of  broken 
stone  used  when  making  the  test  shall  weigh  one  thousand  (1,000) 
grammes. 

(10) 
GENERAL  REQUIRMENTS. 

The  contractor  shall  give  at  least  one  week's  notice  to  the  City 
Engineer  so  that  he  may  test  the  asphaltic  oil  proposed  to  be  used  on

in  their  proper  places,  until  authorized  to  remove  them  by  the  City 
Engineer,  and  any  expense  in  replacing  said  monuments  or  stakes, 
which  the  contractor  or  his  subordinates  may  have  failed  to  preserve 
shall  be  borne  by  the  contractor. 

The  contractor  shall,  when  required  to  do  so  by  the  Street  Super- 
intendent, remove  from  the  work  any  overseer,  superintendent,  laborer 
or  other  person  employed  on  the  work  who  shall  refuse  or  neglect  to 
obey  any  lawful  directions  of  the  Street  Superintendent  in  anything 
relating  to  his  work  or  who  shall  perform  his  work  in  a  manner  con- 
trary to  these  specifications,  or  who  shall  be  found  to  be  unfaithful  or 
incompetent,  or  who  shall  commit  any  trespass  on  any  public  or  priv- 
ate property  in  the  vicinity  of  the  work,  or  for  any  improper  conduct, 
and  shall  not  again  employ  him  or  them  on  the  work. 

No  work  which  may  be  defective  in  its  construction,  or  defi- 
cient in  any  of  the  requirements  of  these  specifications,  will  be  con- 
sidered as  accepted  in  consequence  of  the  failure  of  any  officer  of  the 
City  or  inspector  connected  with  the  work,  to  point  out  said  defects 
or  deficiency  during  the  construction,  and  the  contractor  shall  be 
required  to  correct  any  imperfect  work,  before  the  final  acceptance 
of  the  work. 

The  contractor  assumes  all  risk  of  variance  in  any  computation 

83 


or  statement  of  amounts  or  quantities  necessary  to  complete  the  work 
required  by  the  contract,  and  agrees  to  furnish  all  necessary  labor 
and  material,  and  to  fully  complete  said  work  in  accordance  with 
the  plans  and  specifications,  and  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  Street 
Superintendent. 

Bidders  must  examine  and  judge  for  themselves  as  to  the  location 
of  the  proposed  work,  the  nature  of  the  excavation  to  be  made,  and 
the  work  to  be  done. 

The  contractor  shall  give  twenty-four  (24)  hours'  notice  in  writing, 
when  he  shall  require  the  services  of  the  City  Engineer  for  laying  out 
any  portion  of  the  work.  He  shall  dig  all  stake  holes  necessary  to  give 
lines  and  levels. 

The  contractor  shall  be  required  to  move  at  his  own  expense,  all 
obstructions,  such  as  trees,  stones,  debris,  etc.,  that  may  be  in  the  way 
of  making  said  improvements. 

No  more  than  one  cross  street  shall  be  closed  at  any  one  time. 

The  contractor  shall  be  required  to  observe  all  the  ordinances  of 
the  City  of  Pasadena  in  relation  to  the  obstruction  of  streets,  keeping 
open  passage  ways,  and  protecting  the  same  by  erecting  a  fence  or 
proper  barrier  along  the  line  of  the  work  and  across  the  ends  of  the 
same  in  order  to  guard  the  public  effectively  from  danger  during  the 
progress  of  the  work,  and  he  shall  post  all  proper  notices  and  signals 
to  the  public  of  the  state  of  the  street  while  the  work  is  in  progress. 

A  red  light  must  be  maintained  at  night  at  each  end  of  the  bar- 
riers from  sunset  until  sunrise. 

In  case  it  should  be  necessary  to  move  the  property  of  any  owner 
of  a  public  utility,  or  franchise,  such  owner  will,  upon  proper  applica- 
tion by  the  contractor,  be  notified  by  the  Street  Superintendent  to 
move  such  property  within  a  specified  reasonable  time,  and  the  con- 
tractor shall  not  interfere  with  such  property,  until  the  expiration  of 
the  time  specified. 

The  right  is  reserved  to  the  City  and  the  owners  of  public  utilities 
and  franchises  to  enter  upon  the  street  for  the  purpose  of  making 
repairs  or  changes  that  may  become  necessary  by  the  work. 

The  contractor  shall  remove  all  surplus  material  and  rubbish  from 
the  work  after  its  completion  and  before  he  makes  application  for  the 
acceptance  of  the  work. 

The  contractor  shall  notify  the  Street  Superintendent  when  he 
desires  a  final  inspection  of  the  work,  when  the  latter  will,  as  soon 
as  possible,  make  the  necessary  examination,  and  if  the  work  is  found 
in  compliance  with  the  above  speifications,  will  furnish  the  contractor 
with  a  certificate  to  that  effect. 

Whenever  the  word  "Contractor"  is  used  in  these  specifications 
it  refers  to  the  party  or  parties  of  the  second  part  in  the  agreement 
for  the  construction  of  the  work  herein  specified. 

Whenever  the  words  "Street  Superintendent"  or  "City  Engineer"

Sec.  2.  Each  and  every  theatre  in  the  City  of  Pasadena,  of  five 
hundred  (500)  or  more  seating  capacity,  is  required  to  be  bounded  by 
at  least  one  public  highway,  upon  which  shall  open  the  main  entrance 
and  exit,  and  by  at  least  two  (2)  streets,  alleys,  or  courts,  or  by  at  least 
one  (1)  street,  alley  or  court  and  one  (1)  fireproof  passageway,  other 
than  the  aforesaid  public  highway  from  which  the  main  entrance  leads. 
Each  of  said  streets,  alleys  and  courts  and  said  fireproof  passageway 
shall  have  an  open  and  unobstructed  out  et  to  a  public  highway,  and 
shall  be  not  less  than  ten  (10)  feet  in  width.  All  exits  hereinafter  pro- 
vided, other  than  the  main  entrance  and  exit,  shall  lead  into  such 
streets,  alleys,  courts  or  fireproof  passageway,  and  the  word  exit 
where  used  in  this  ordinance  shall  be  construed  to  mean  a  door  or  open- 
ing through  the  outer  wall  of  the  theatre.  Where  any  exit  is  above  the 
ground  level  it  shall  open  upon  a  metallic  platform  or  balcony  with  a 
metallic  stairway  with  railings,  which  stairway  shall  descend  to  one 
of  the  beforementioned  streets,  alleys  or  courts,  or  to  the  before  nen- 
tioned  fireproof  passageway,  or  to  the  public  highway  from  which  the 
main  entrance  leads.  The  main  floor  of  such  theatre  shall  have  at

such  streets,  alleys  or  courts,  or  into  such  fireproof  passageway.  Each 
balcony  or  gallery  shall  have  at  least  two  exits,  and  said  exits  shall 
lead  to  a  metallic  platform  or  balcony  with  metallic  stairways  with 
railings,  which  stairways  shall  descend  to  the  beforementioned  streets, 
alleys  or  said  fireproof  passageway,  and  in  no  case  shall  they  lead  to 
the  same  interior  hall  or  corridor  as  that  from  which  the  main  exit 
leads.  The  required  width  of  all  exits,  other  than  the  main  exit,  sha1! 
be  calculated  upon  the  following  basis:  Each  exit  shall  be  ten  (10) 
inches  in  width  for  eacn  one  hundred  (100)  seating  capacity  or  frac- 
tion thereof,  but  in  no  case  shall  any  exit  be  less  in  width  than  four 
(4)  feet.  A  sign  shall  be  placed  over  each  exit,  in  plain  view  of  the

ward, and  shall  be  kept  unlocked  from  the  time  the  audience  is  per- 
mitted to  enter,  until  it  shall  have  dispersed.  There  shall  be  no  steps

ORDINANCE  NO.  675. 


An  Ordinance  Providing  for  the   Inspection  of  Gas   Meters,  Fixing  the 
Price  of  Gas,  Adding  to  the  Duties  of  Health   Officer,  and   Providing 
for  the  Appointment  of  a  Deputy  Health  Officer. 


The  Mayor  and  City  Council  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  do  ordain  as 
follows: 

Section  1.  That  in  addition  to  the  duties  fixed  by  the  City  Charter 
and  all  other  duties  heretofore  fixed  by  Ordinance,  the  Health  Officer 
of  the  City  of  Pasadena  shall  perform  the  duties  herein  imposed  upon 
him. 

Sec.  2.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  such  Health  Officer  to  examine  and 
test  any  gas  meter  furnished  to  any  consumer  of  gas  in  said  city  by 
any  individual,  firm,  company  or  corporation  furnishing  gas  to  the  City 
of  Pasadena,  or  any  consumer  therein  whenever  requested  so  to  do  by 
such  consumer  and  upon  payment  of  the  fee  as  hereinafter  provided; 
such  inspection  to  be  made  substantially  in  accordance  with  the  fol- 
lowing requirements:  whenever  any  consumer  of  gas  furnished  as 
aforesaid  shall  make  request  in  writing  to  such  Health  Officer  to  have 
any  meter,  furnished  and  installed  by  such  individual,  firm,  company 
or  corporation  on  the  premises  of  such  consumer,  inspected  by  such 
Health  Officer  for  the  purpose  of  ascertaining  whether  such  meter 
registers  accurately  and  correctly  and  pays  to  such  Health  Officer  the 
sum  of  two  dollars  and  fifty  cents  ($2.50)  inspection  fees  as  herein- 
after fixed,  such  inspector  shall  proceed  to  make  a  test  of  such  gas 
meter.  Before  making  any  such  test,  the  Health  Officer  shall  give 
notice  to  the  person  making  application  for  such  test,  and  also  to  the 
individual,  firm,  company  or  corporation  whose  meter  is  about  to  be 
tested,  of  the  time  and  place  where  he  intends  to  test  such  meter. 
Notice  to  the  individual  firm,  company  or  corporation  furnishing  gas 
shall  be  given  in  writing,  sent  by  mail,  addressed  to  such  individual, 
firm,  company  or  corporation  in  the  City  of  Pasadena,  with  the  postage 
prepaid,  and  a  like  notice  shall  be  sent  to  such  applicant's  address. 
Such  notice  shall  be  mailed  at  least  twelve  (12)  hours  before  the  time 
set  for  the  testing  of  such  meter.  The  test  of  such  meter  shall  be  made 
by  said  Health  Officer  or  his  deputy  at  such  time  and  place  as  he  shall 
designate  in  such  notice  or  notices,  and  shall  be  made  in  such  manner 
as  to  thoroughly  test  such  meter  with  a  view  of  ascertaining  whether 
it  registers  accurately.  Any  consumer's  meter  tested  as  aforesaid  shall 
be  deemed  to  be  correct  if  it  registers  not  to  exceed  two  (2)  per  cent, 
above,  or  two  (2)  per  cent,  below  the  correct  standard. 

Sec.  3.  The  inspection  herein  provided  for  to  be  made  shall  be 
prima  facie  correct  both  upon  the  individual,  firm,  company  or  cor- 
poration owning  such  meter,  and  the  consumer  in  or  upon  whose  prem- 
ises such  meter  was  installed,  and  the  amount  of  gas  flowing  through 
such  meter  for  a  period  of  three  (3)  months  before  the  c'ose  of  the 
month  in  which  such  meter  shall  be  inspected  shall  be  deemed  to  be  as 

40 


if  such  meter  were  during  such  three  months,  in  the  same  condition 
as  it  was  found  in  at  the  time  such  inspection  was  had. 

Sec.  4.  If  the  result  of  any  such  inspection  shall  show  any  such 
meter  so  inspected  to  be  incorrect  and  to  have  registered  in  such  man- 
ner as  to  show  a  greater  consumption  of  gas  than  was  actually  con- 
sumed, or  which  actually  flowed  through  the  meter,  the  amount  ad- 
vanced by  the  person  desiring  such  test  shall  be  forthwith  returned  by 
the  Health  Officer  to  such  person,  and  such  inspection  shall  be  made 
without  cost  or  expense  of  any  kind  to  him.  The  cost  of  making  such 
inspection  of  any  meter  so  found  to  be  incorrect  shall  be  paid  by  the 
individual,  firm,  company  or  corporation  furnishing  gas  through  the 
same  and  by  whom  or  for  whose  benefit  such  meter  was  installed,  and 
the  amount  of  the  fee  as  hereinafter  fixed  for  such  inspection  shall  be 
paid  by  such  individual,  firm,  company  or  corporation  upon  a  bill  being 
presented  to  him  or  it  by  the  Health  Officer  with  his  certificate  show- 
ing that  such  meter  was  found  by  him  to  be  incorrect.  If  the  result  of 
any  such  inspection  of  any  meter  shall  show  such  meter  to  be  register- 
ing correctly  or  to  have  registered  a  smaller  amount  of  gas  than  was 
actually  consumed  or  flowed  through  such  meter,  then  in  that  case  the 
expense  of  such  inspection  shall  be  paid  for  out  of  fee  required  to  be 
advanced  by  the  person  making  such  application  for  such  inspection, 
and  no  part  of  such  fee  in  such  case  shall  be  returned  to  such  appli- 
cant, and  the  inspector  shall  take  the  number  of  such  meter,  and  also 
place  his  own  number  thereon,  and  it  shall  be  unlawful  for  the  same  to 
be  used  again  until  it  is  made  correct  and  has  been  again  inspected  by 
the  Health  Officer  and  approved  by  him;  and  for  such  inspection  a  fee 
of  one  ($1)  dollar  shall  be  paid.  If  any  meter  is  found  upon  inspection 
to  be  correct  there  shall  be  attached  to  it  by  the  inspector  a  ticket 
signed  by  him  showing  date  of  the  inspection  and  inspection  number, 
and  where  located,  and  that  it  was  found  to  be  correct,  and  any  person 
wilfully  removing  such  ticket  or  changing  the  same  or  attaching  the 
same  to  any  other  meter  shall  be  deemed  guilty  of  a  misdemeanor, 
and  upon  conviction  thereof  shall  be  punished  by  a  fine  not  exceeding 
twenty-five  ($25)  dollars,  or  imprisoned  not  exceeding  fifteen  (15) 
days,  or  both  such  fine  and  imprisonment  in  the  discretion  of  the  Court. 

Sec.  5.  Any  consumer  desiring  inspection  of  any  gas  meter  with- 
in the  city,  shall  accompany  the  application  herein  provided  for  with  a 
fee  of  two  dollars  and  fifty  cents  ($2.50),  which  shall  be  paid  to  the 
Health  Officer  and  shall  obtain  a  receipt  from  him  for  such  payment, 
which  receipt  shall  describe  the  location  of  the  meter  to  be  inspected 
and  the  name  of  the  consumer  for  whose  benefit  such  gas  meter  was 
installed. 

Sec.  6.  Whenever  request  shall  be  made  to  inspect  any  meter 
which  is  installed  in  any  premises,  the  Health  Officer  shall  have  the 
right,  upon  giving  the  notice  hereinbefore  provided  for,  to  disconnect 
and  detach  such  meter  and  convey  the  same  to  such  place  as  he  may 
desire  for  the  purpose  of  making  such  inspection. 

Sec.  7.  The  Health  Officer  of  this  city,  or  his  authorized  deputy, 
shall  have  the  right  at  any  time  to  direct  any  individual,  firm,  company 
or  corporation  furnishing  gas  as  aforesaid,  to  remove  any  meter  of 
said  individual,  firm,  company  or  corporation  between  the  hours  of  1 
p.  m.  and  4  p.  m.  of  any  week  day  from  the  premises  of  any  consumer 
in  the  presence  of  said  Health  Officer  or  deputy,  and  to  turn  it  over  to 
him  for  the  purpose  of  testing  said  meter;  and  the  said  individual, 
firm,  company  or  corporation  shall,  whenever  deemed  necessary  by 
said  Health  Officer  or  his  deputy,  be  required  to  supply  to  any  con- 
sumer whose  meter  may  be  removed  for  inspection  as  aforesaid,  an- 
other meter  for  use  during  the  time  required  for  such  inspection. 
Whenever  such  individual,  firm,  company  or  corporation  shall  fail  to 
remove  any  meter  under  such  direction  as  aforesaid,  it  shall  be  lawful 
for  said  Health  Officer  or  his  deputy  to  remove  such  meter  for  the 
purpose  of  testing  same. 

Sec.  8.  All  fees  received  by  such  Health  Officer  or  his  deputy 
shall  be  accounted  for  by  him  monthly,  and  shall  be  by  him  paid  into 
the  City  Treasury  monthly,  and  monthly  reports  thereof  under  oath  by 
him  submitted  to  the  City  Council. 

Sec.  9.  It  shall  be  unlawful  for  any  individual,  firm,  company  or 
•corporation  engaged  in  supplying  gas  for  consumption  in  this  city,  to 

41 


require,  demand  or  receive  a  deposit  of  money  or  other  valuable  thing 
as  a  condition  precedent  to  or  as  security  for  furnishing  any  consumer 
with  a  meter. 

Sec.  10.  No  individual,  firm,  company  or  corporation  manufac- 
turing, selling,  supplying  or  distributing  gas  in  this  city  for  illuminat- 
ing or  tor  fuel  purposes  shall  charge,  exact,  demand  or  collect  from  any 
consumer  thereof  more  than  the  sum  of  one  ($1)  dollar  per  thousand 
(1,000)  cubic  feet  of  gas  consumed  or  used.  Said  sum  of  one  ($1)  dol- 
lar per  one  (1,000)  thousand  cubic  feet  of  gas  shall  be  the  net  price 
charged,  exacted,  demanded  or  collected  from  each  consumer.  Any 
individual,  firm,  company  or  corporation,  or  any  servant  or  employe 
thereof  who  shall  in  violation  of  the  provisions  of  this  section  charge,

any  connection  between  his,  their  or  its  pipes  and  those  of  any  person

the  quality  of  gas  being  so  furnished  or  supplied  to  the  city,  or  to  any 
consumer  therein,  either  as  to  purity  or  illuminating  powers,  is  below 
the  standard  required  by  the  provisions  of  this  ordinance  or  any  other

ORDINANCE  NO.  967. 


An  Ordinance  Regulating  the  Furnishing  and  Sale  of  Electricity  for 
Lighting  Purposes  In  the  City  of  Pasadena  and  Providing  Rates 
Therefor. 


The  Mayor  and  City  Council  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  do  ordain  as 
follows: 

Section  1.  By  the  term  "company"  as  used  in  this  ordinance,  is 
meant  any  corporation,  co-partnership,  association  or  person  engaged 
in  the  business  of  furnishing,  or  selling,  electricity  for  lighting  pur- 
poses in  the  City  of  Pasadena. 

Sec.  2.  For  the  purposes  of  this  ordinance,  a  "meter"  is  defined 
to  be  an  instrument  or  appliance  for  measuring  quantity  of  electric  en- 
ergy, so  adjusted  and  maintained  as  to  correctly  register,  in  kilowatt 
hours,  within  two  (2)  per  cent.,  plus  or  minus,  the  amount  of  electric 
energy  measured  by  it,  when  compared  with,  and  tested  by  a  standard 
indicating  watt  meter,  with  the  proper  formula,  frequency,  voltage, 
current,  time  and  constants  pertaining  to  the  particular  meter  under 
test,  and  so  adjusted  and  maintained  as  to  correctly  register,  in  kilo- 
watt hours,  the  amount  of  electric  energy  measured  by  it  without  a 

63 


greater  error  than  two  (2)  per  cent.,  plus  or  minus,  when  recording 
ten  (10)  per  cent,  fifty  (50)  per  cent.,  and  one  hundred  (100)  per  cent, 
of  the  electric  energy  which  it  is  designed  to  record,  when  compared 
with  a  standard  indicating  watt  meter,  and  tested  as  herein  provided. 
Whenever  a  meter  is  required  by  this  ordinance  it  shall  conform  to  the 
definition  and  requirements  of  this  section. 

Sec.  3.  The  City  Electrician  may  at  any  time  examine  and  test 
any  electric  meter  installed  or  about  to  be  installed  in  the  City  of  Pasa- 
dena for  measuring  electric  energy  for  lighting  purposes,  and  for  such 
purpose  may  disconnect  and  remove  any  meter  from  any  place  where 
installed  or  placed  to  the  testing  place  selected  by  him.  It  shall  be  un- 
lawful for  any  person,  firm  or  corporation  to  hinder,  impede  or  inter- 
fere with  the  City  Electrician  in  making  examination  or  test  of  any 
meter. 

(See  Ordinance  No.  1208,  Sec.   17.) 

Sec.  4.  Every  company  shall  install  and  maintain  at  or  upon  the 
premises  of  each  of  its  customers  a  meter  for  the  purpose  of  measur- 
ing and  determining  the  amount  of  electric  energy  for  lighting  pur- 
poses by  it  furnished  to  such  customer.  It  shall  be  unlawful  for  any 
company  or  any  officer,  agent,  servant  or  employe  of  any  company,  to 
sell  or  lurnish  electric  energy  for  lighting  purposes  to  any  consumer  or 
person  in  the  City  of  Pasadena,  unless  such  energy  be  measured  by  a 
meter  so  installed  and  maintained.  It  shall  be  unlawful  for  any  com- 
pany or  any  officer,  agent,  servant  or  employee  of  any  company,  di- 
rectly or  indirectly,  in  any  form  or  manner,  to  charge,  demand,  collect 
or  receive  payment  or  compensation  for  electric  energy  furnished  for 
lighting  purposes  which  is  not  based  upon  and  proportioned  to  the 
amount  of  energy  actually  furnished,  and  determined  and  measured  by 
a  meter  installed  and  maintained  as  herein  provided. 

Sec.  5.  Separate  meters  may  be  installed  for  the  measurement  of 
electric  energy  furnished  for  incandescent  lighting  and  electric  energy 
furnished  for  arc  lighting,  but  where  separate  meters  are  not  installed 
all  energy  furnished  for  lighting  purposes  shall  be  deemed  to  be  used 
for  the  type  of  lighting  the  rates  for  the  first  or  "A"  class  of  which  are 
the  higher,  whether  herein  fixed  or  established  as  herein  provided. 

Sec.  6.  For  the  purpose  of  fixing  and  establishing  rates,  electric 
energy  sold  or  furnished  in  the  City  of  Pasadena  by  any  company  for 
incandescent  lighting  is  and  shall  be  classified  as  follows: 

"Class  A" — The  first  one  hundred  (100)  kilowatt  hours,  or  less,  of 
energy  furnished  in  any  one  month  to  any  consumer. 

"Class  B" — The  kilowatt  hours  of  energy  furnished  in  any  one

and  not  exceeding  one  thousand  (1000)  kilowatt  hours. 

"Class  D" — The  kilowatt  hours  of  energy  furnished  in  any  one 
month  to  any  consumer  in  excess  of  one  thousand  (1000)  kilowatt 
hours  and  not  exceeding  two  thousand  (2000)  kilowatt  hours. 

"Class  E" — The  kilowatt  hours  of  energy  furnished  in  any  one 
month  to  any  consumer  over  two  thousand  (2000)  kilowatt  hours. 

For  the  purpose  of  fixing  and  establishing  rates,  electric  energy 
sold  or  furnished  in  the  City  of  Pasadena  by  any  company  for  arc 
lighting  is,  and  shall  be,  classified  as  follows: 

"Class  A  Arc" — The  first  one  hundred  (100)  kilowatt  hours,  or  less, 
of  energy  furnishd  in  any  one  month  to  any  consumer. 

"Class  B  Arc" — The  kilowatt  hours  of  energy  furnished  in  any  one 
month  to  any  consumer  in  excess  of  one  hundred  (100)  kilowatt  hours 
and  not  exceeding  five  hundred  (500)  kilowatt  hours. 

"Class  C  Arc" — The  kilowatt  hours  of  enerby  furnished  in  any  one

said  purposes  by  any  company  shall  be  calculated  monthly  and  the 
charge  therefor  shall  be  based  upon  the  number  of  kilowatt  hours  fur- 
nished during  each  respective  month. 

Sec.  7.  Except  when  otherwise  established  as  herein  provided, 
the  rates  for  electric  energy  and  for  the  various  classes  thereof  fur- 

64

meter  of  three  (3)  kilowatt  capacity,  or  less,  and  thirty  (30)  cents  per 
kilowatt  for  each  additional  kilowatt  of  meter  capacity  required.  The 
capacity  of  meters  used  shall  not  be  greater  than  is  necessary  to  cor- 
rectly measure  and  register  the  amount  of  energy  used  by  each  respec- 
tive consumer. 

Sec.  8.  Any  company  desiring  to  establish  rates  for  electric  en- 
ergy by  it  furnished  for  lighting  purposes  in  the  City  of  Pasadena  less 
than  the  rates  fixed  by  Section  7  bf  this  ordinance  may  do  so  by  filing 
with  the  City  Clerk  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  and  publishing  for  a  period 
of  ten  (10)  days,  commencing  with  the  day  of  said  filing,  in  a  news- 
paper of  general  circulation  published  at  least  six  (6)  days  a  week  in 
said  city,  a  schedule  of  rates  it  desires  and  elects  to  establish.  The 
rates  thus  established  must  be  based  upon  and  proportioned  to  the 
amount  of  electric  energy  actually  furnished  as  measured  and  regis- 
tered by  a  meter.  They  must  follow  and  conform  to  the  classification 
established  by  Section  6  of  this  ordinance,  and  a  single  rate  must  be 
fixed  for  each  class  of  energy.  No  rate  shall  be  higher  than  the  rate 
fixed  in  Section  7  of  this  ordinance  for  the  corresponding  class  of  en- 
ergy, and  the  minimum  monthly  charge  in  said  section  provided  shall 
not  be  increased.  No  rate  for  any  class  shall  be  higher  than  any  rate 
fixed  or  established  for  a  class  higher  in  the  same  alphabetical  scale, 
the  "A"  class  in  each  classification  being  deemed  to  be  the  highest 
class  in  its  respective  scale.  The  rates  stated  in  such  schedule  shall 
become  effective  at  12  o'clock  noon  of  January  1,  1910,  if  filed  and  fully 
published  on  or  before  that  time,  and  if  filed  or  published  thereafter, 
then  thirty  (30)  days  after  the  filing  and  last  publication  thereof,  and 
shall  thereupon  become  and  be  the  lawful  rates,  and  the  only  lawful 
rates,  which  such  company  may  charge  or  collect  until  the  same  be 
changed  as  in  this  section  permitted  and  provided. 

The  rates  established,  as  herein  provided,  may  be  changed  from 
time  to  time,  in  whole  or  in  part,  by  the  filing  and  publication  of  a  new 
schedule,  conforming  to  the  requirements  of  this  section,  provided, 
however,  that  no  rate  shall  be  increased  without  the  consent  of  the 
City  of  Pasadena  given  by  ordinance. 

Sec.  9.  All  electric  energy  sold  or  furnished  for  power,  heating, 
or  purposes  other  than  lighting,  when  not  measured  by  a  separate 
meter  installed  and  maintained  for  the  purpose  of  measuring  such En- 
ergy shall  be  deemed  and  considered  as  electric  energy  furnished  for 
lighting  purposes,  and  the  same,  and  the  furnishing  and  sale  thereof 
and  the  rates  therefor,  shall  be  in  all  respects  subject  to  the  conditions 
and  provisions  of  this  ordinance. 

(Sec   Ordinance   No,    1242.) 

Sec.  10.  It  shall  be  unlawful  for  any  company  which  has  not,  as 
provided  by  Section  8  hereof,  established  rates  different  from  those 
fixed  by  Section  7  hereof,  or  for  any  officer,  agent,  collector  or  em- 
ployee of  such  company,  directly  or  indirectly,  by  the  use  of  false  or 
inaccurate  meters,  or  by  false  or  inaccurate  reading  of  meters,  or  by 
any  special  rebate,  drawback  or  other  device,  or  in  any  manner  or 
form,  to  charge,  demand,  collect,  or  receive,  any  rate  or  rates,  or  pay-

ORDINANCE  NO.  984. 


An   Ordinance   Regulating  the   Making   and    Filling   of   Excavations   In 
Public  Streets,  Alleys,  Sidewalks  and  Other  Public  Places. 


The  Mayor  and  City  Council  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  do  ordain  as 
follows : 

Section  1.  Every  person,  firm  or  corporation,  before  making  or 
causing  or  permitting  to  be  made  any  excavation  in  or  under  the  sur- 
face of  any  public  street,  alley,  sidewalk  or  other  public  place  for  the 
installation,  setting,  repair  or  removal  of  any  pipe,  conduit,  duct,  tun- 
nel or  pole  or  for  any  other  purpose,  shall  file  with  the  superintendent 
of  streets  a  statement  and  plat  and  make  a  deposit  to  cover  the  cost  of 
inspection  and  of  restoring  such  public  street,  alley,  sidewalk  or  other 
public  place  to  its  original  condition,  together  with  the  incidental  ex- 
penses in  connection  therewith,  all  as  in  this  ordinance  provided. 

It  shall  be  unlawful  for  any  person,  firm  or  corporation  to  refuse, 
fail  or  neglect  to  file  the  statement  and  plat  and  make  a  deposit,  or 
either  or  any  thereof,  as  in  this  ordinance  provided,  before  making  or 
causing  or  permitting  to  be  made  any  such  excavation. 

Sec.  2.  The  person,  firm,  or  corporation  intending  to  make  any 
such  excavation,  shall  first  file  with  the  Superintendent  of  Streets  a 
written  statement  which  shall  contain  the  name  and  residence  or  busi- 
ness address  of  the  person,  firm  or  corporation  filing  the  same,  and 
shall  state  in  detail  the  location  and  area  of  each  excavation  intended 
to  be  made,  and  the  purpose  for  which  to  be  made,  and  shall  contain 
a  designation  of  a  person  living  or  having  a  place  of  business  in  the 
City  of  Pasadena  upon  whom  any  notice  or  notices  hereinafter  pro- 
vided for  may  be  served,  and  an  agreement  that  service  of  notice  upon 
the  person  thus  designated,  either  personally  or  by  leaving  the  same  at 
his  residence  or  place  of  business  in  the  City  of  Pasadena  shall  consti- 
tute notice  to  the  person,  firm  or  corporation  making  and  filing  the 
statement.  The  statement  shall  be  upon  or  accompanied  by  a  plat 
showing  the  location  of  each  proposed  excavation.  The  Superintendent 
of  Streets  may  require  that  such  plats  be  of  uniform  size  and  material 
and,  except  where  excavations  proposed  to  be  made  cover  more  than 
one  (1)  block,  require  the  use  of  forms  of  plats  by  him  prepared  and 
that  the  statement  herein  required  be  written  or  made  upon  such  plat. 

Sec.  3.  It  shall  be  unlawful  for  any  person,  firm  or  corporation  to 
make  or  cause  or  permit  to  be  made  any  excavation  or  to  install,  set  or 
maintain,  or  to  cause  or  permit  to  be  installed,  set  or  maintained,  any 
pipe,  conduit,  duct,  tunnel,  pole  or  tank  in  or  along  the  surface  of  any 

70 


street,  alley,  sidewalk  or  other  public  place  at  any  location  other  than 
that  described  in  the  statement  and  shown  on  the  plat  filed  by  such 
person,  firm  or  corporation,  as  required  by  the  provisions  of  this  ordi- 
nance. 

Sec.  4.  Special  deposits  shall  be  made  with  the  Superintendent  of 
Streets  upon  the  filing  of  any  statement  and  plat,  as  follows:  A  sum 
equal  to  thirty  (30)  cents  per  square  foot  of  surface  of  each  excava- 
tion to  be  made  in  any  street  or  other  public  place  which  has  been 
macadamized  or  paved;  a  sum  equal  to  twenty  (20)  cents  per  square 
foot  of  surface  of  each  such  excavation  to  be  made  in  any  street  or 
other  public  place  which  has  been  oiled  but  not  macadamized  or  paved; 
and  a  sum  equal  to  ten  (10)  cents  for  each  square  foot  of  surface  of 
each  such  excavation  to  be  made  in  the  streets  or  other  public  places 
which  are  neither  macadamized,  paved  or  oiled.  Provided,  that  no  de- 
posit shall  be  less  than  ten  ($10)  dollars  for  an  excavation  to  be  made 
in  a  street  or  other  public  place  which  has  been  paved  or  macadamized 
or  five  ($5)  dollars  for  an  excavation  to  be  made  in  a  street  or  other 
public  place  which  has  been  oiled  but  not  paved  or  macadamized  and 
three  ($3)  dollars  for  excavation  in  any  other  street  or  public  place; 
and  provided  further  that,  any  person,  firm  or  corporation  intending  to 
make  excavations  in  public  streets,  alleys  or  other  public  places  may 
make  and  maintain  with  the  Superintendent  of  Streets  a  general  de- 
posit in  the  sum  of  five  hundred  ($500)  dollars,  which  general  deposit 
shall  be  used  for  the  same  purposes  as  the  special  deposit  described 
hereinbefore  in  this  section;  and  while  such  general  deposit  is  main- 
tained at  said  sum  of  five  hundred  ($500)  dollars,  such  person,  firm  or 
corporation  shall  not  be  required  to  make  the  special  deposits  hereinbe- 
fore in  this  section  provided  for,  but  shall  be  required  to  file  a  written 
statement  for  all  excavations  proposed  to  be  made  and  a  plat  showing 
the  location  thereof  as  in  this  ordinance  provided  and  to  comply  with 
all  the  provisions  of  this  ordinance. 

Provided,  that  the  deposit  to  be  made  for  a  permit  to  excavate  for 
the  purpose  of  making  house  connections  to  sewers  or  for  making  re- 
pairs to  the  same  shall  be  made  as  hereinafter  in  this  section  required. 
When  a  statement  is  filed  for  an  excavation  for  the  purpose  of  making 
a  house  connection  with  a  sewer  or  for  making  repairs  to  the  same,  the 
person,  firm  or  corporation  filing  such  statement  shall  make  a  special 
deposit  with  the  Superintendent  of  Streets  of  ten  ($10)  dollars  for  each 
such  excavation  to  be  made  in  a  paved  or  macadamized  street  or  public 
place;  five  ($5)  dollars  for  each  such  excavation  to  be  made  in  oiled 
street  or  public  place;  arid  the  sum  of  three  ($3)  dollars  for  each  such 
excavation  where  the  same  is  to  be  made  in  a  street  or  public  place 
that  has  not  been  paved,  oiled,  or  macadamized.  Provided,  however, 
that  any  person,  firm  or  corporation  may  make  and  maintain  with  the 
said  Superintendent  of  streets  a  general  deposit  of  one  hundred  ($100) 
dollars,  which  general  deposit  shall  be  used  for  the  same  purposes  as 
the  special  deposit  for  house  connections  referred  to  in  this  section; 
and  while  such  general  deposit  is  maintained  at  the  said  sum  of  one 
hundred  ($100)  dollars,  such  person,  firm  or  corporation  shall  not  be 
required  to  make  a  special  deposit  for  such  purposes  as  in  this  section 
provided  for,  but  shall  be  required  to  file  the  written  statement  and 
plat  for  each  such  excavation  as  in  this  ordinance  provided  and  to  com- 
ply with  all  the  provisions  of  this  ordinance.  When  the  number  and 
amount  of  excavations  made  under  any  general  deposit  is  double 
the  number  or  amount  of  such  excavations  which  could  have  been 
made  under  the  amount  of  such  deposit  if  the  same  had  been  made 
from  time  to  time  as  special  deposits,  then  the  Superintendent  of 
Streets,  with  the  consent  thereto  of  the  Council  evidenced  by  motion 
duly  made  and  passed,  may  require  the  amount  of  such  general  deposit 
to  be  increased  by  one  hundred  (100)  per  cent. 

Sec.  5.  When  a  statement  and  plat  is  filed  and  a  special  or  gen- 
eral deposit  made,  as  in  this  ordinance  provided,  the  Superintendent 
of  Streets  shall  issue  a  certificate  in  writing  showing  the  filing  of  said 
statement  and  plat.  Such  certificate  shall  specify  the  person,  firm  or 
corporation  to  whom  it  is  issued,  the  street,  alley  or  other  public  place 
and  the  particular  portion  or  portions  thereof  to  be  excavated,  and 
shall  state  whether  the  person,  firm  or  corporation  to  whom  issued  has 


made  a  general  or  a  special  deposit,  and  if  a  special  deposit,  shall  state 
the  amount  thereof,  and  shall  be  a  receipt  therefor. 

Sec.  6.  All  excavations  shall  be  leveled  and  the  surfaces  thereof 
restored  to  their  original  condition  without  delay  in  the  best  and  most 
workmanlike  manner  with  the  same  kind  of  material  as  that  removed 
in  making  the  excavation  so  that  the  condition  of  each  excavated  street 
shall  be  the  same  in  every  respect  as  that  existing  before  such  excava- 
tion was  made. 

Sec.  7.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  every  person,  firm  or  corporation 
making  any  excavation  in  any  public  street,  alley  or  other  public  place 
to  maintain  safe  crossings  for  vehicle  traffic  at  all  street  intersections 
and  safe  crossings  for  pedestrians  at  intervals  of  not  more  than  three 
hundred  (300)  feet.  If  any  such  excavation  is  made  across  any  public 
street  or  alley,  at  least  one  safe  crossing  shall  be  maintained  at  all 
times  for  vehicles  and  pedestrians.  Free  access  must  be  provided  to 
all  fire  hydrants  and  water  gates.  All  materials  excavated  shall  be 
laid  compactly  along  the  side  of  the  trench  and  kept  trimmed  up  so  as 
to  cause  as  little  inconvenience  as  possible  to  public  traffic.  All  gut- 
ters shall  be  maintained  free  and  unobstructed  for  the  full  depth  of  the 
adjacent  curb  and  for  at  least  one  (1)  foot  in  width  from  the  face  of 
such  crub  at  the  gutter  line.  Where  a  gutter  crosses  an  intersection 
street,  an  adequate  waterway  shall  be  provided  and  at  all  times  main- 
tained. It  shall  also  be  the  duty  of  every  person,  firm  or  corporation 
making  any  excavation  in  any  public  street,  alley  or  other  public  place, 
to  place  and  maintain  barriers  at  each  end  of  such  excavation,  and  at 
such  places  as  may  be  necessary  along  the  excavation  to  prevent  acci- 
dents, and  also  to  place  and  maintain  lights  at  each  end  of  such  excava- 
tion and  at  distances  of  not  more  than  fifty  (50)  feet  along  the  side 
thereof,  from  sunset  each  day  to  sunrise  of  the  next  day,  until  such 
excavation  is  entirely  refilled;  and  it  shall  be  unlawful  for  any  person, 
firm  or  corporation  to  fail,  refuse  or  neglect  to  comply  with  any  re- 
quirements contained  in  this  section. 

Sec.  8.  After  such  excavation  is  commenced,  the  work  of  making 
and  refilling  the  same  shall  be  prosecuted  with  due  diligence  and  so  as 
not  to  obstruct  the  street  or  other  public  place  or  travel  thereon  more 
than  is  actually  necessary  therefor.  If  the  work  is  not  so  prosecuted, 
or  if  the  work  of  refilling  does  not  in  the  judgment  of  the  Superin- 
tendent of  Streets  comply  with  the  terms  of  this  ordinance,  the  Super- 
intendent of  Streets  shall  notify  the  person,  firm  or  corporation  named 
in  the  certificate  and  doing  or  causing  said  work  to  be  done,  that  the 
work  is  not  being  prosecuted  with  due  diligence  or  that  the  refilling  of 
such  excavation  has  not  been  properly  done  and  shall  require  such  per- 
son, firm  or  corporation  within  five  (5)  days  after  the  service  of  such 
notice  to  proceed  with  the  diligent  prosecution  of  such  work  or  proper- 
ly to  fill  the  same,  as  the  case  may  be.  If  such  notice  is  not  complied 
with  the  Superintendent  of  Streets  shall  do  such  work  as  may  be 
necessary  to  refill  such  excavation  and  to  restore  the  street  or  other 
public  place,  which  shall  have  been  excavated,  to  as  good  condition  as 
the  same  was  in  before  such  excavation  or  excavations  were  made. 

Sec.  9.  The  person,  firm  or  corporation  by  whom  or  which  any 
excavation  shall  be  made  in  any  public  street,  alley  or  other  public 
place,  shall  be  deemed  and  held  to  guarantee  the  work  of  the  refilling 
and  repairing  thereof  for  the  period  of  one  (1)  year  after  the  refilling 
of  such  excavation  against  all  defects  in  workmanship  of  material. 
Upon  the  completion  of  the  work  of  refilling,  notice  thereof  shall  be 
given  to  the  Superintendent  of  Streets,  who  shall  make  a  note  thereof 
and  the  date  when  given,  upon  the  statement  covering  and  describing 
said  work,  and  the  said  period  of  one  (1)  year  shall  be  deemed  to  run 
from  the  date  of  the  giving  of  such  notice  of  completion.  Whenever, 
prior  to  the  expiration  of  such  period  of  one  (1)  year,  any  part  of  the 
pavement  or  surface  of  any  public  street  or  place  so  guaranteed  be- 
comes in  need  of  repairs  by  reason  of  any  defective  workmanship  or 
materials  in  such  work  of  refilling  or  repairing,  the  Superintendent  of 
Streets  shall  serve  upon  the  person,  firm  or  corporation  by  whom  the 
excavation  was  made,  as  appears  from  the  statement  filed  and  cover- 
ing said  work,  a  written  notice  stating  the  repairs  necessary  and  re- 
quiring such  repairs  to  be  made  within  five  (5)  days  after  the  service

licensed  certificate  therefor  from  the  ex-officio  City  Tax  and  License 
Collector,  as  hereinafter  provided. 

The  engaging  in,  carrying  on,  or  conducting  of  said  business  with- 
out having  produced  such  a  lincense  certificate  therefor,  shall  consti- 
tute a  distinct  and  separate  offense  for  each  and  every  day  that  such 
business  is  engaged  in,  carried  on,  or  conducted. 

The  license  certificate  above  mentioned  shall  be  issued  by  said 
City  Tax  and  License  Collector,  and  be  countersigned  by  the  City  Audi- 
tor, upon  and  not  before  the  payment  to  said  City  Tax  and  License 
Collector  of  the  sum  of  three  (3)  dollars  for  one  (1)  year.  Every  li- 
cense certificate  issued  hereunder  shall  specify  the  name  of  the  person

the  date  of  its  expiration.  The  license  certificate  issued  hereunder 
shall  be  non-transferable,  and  shall  confer  no  authority  or  privilege 
upon'  any  person  other  than  to  whom  issued. 

No  such  license  shall  be  issued  except  upon  a  written  permit  from 
the  Board  of  Park,  Police  and  Fire  Commissioners.  Said  Board  of 
Park,  Police  and  Fire  Commissioners  shall,  upon  application  being 
made  to  them  for  any  such  permit,  examine  the  applicant  and  the 
implements  and  apparatus  to  be  used  by  him  in  such  business,  and

proper  conduct  of  such  business,  and  is  competent  to  engage  therein, 
and  that  the  said  implements  and  apparatus  are  properly  constructed 
and  suitable  for  said  business.  Whenever  any  person  holding  such  a

Fire  Commissioners  may,  upon  notice  to  such  person  and  after  hear- 
ing him  upon  the  matter,  revoke  any  permit  granted  to  him  under  this 
ordinance,  and  after  such  revocation  no  further  license  shall  be  issued 
to  him.  All  such  permits  and  written  notice  of  all  such  revocations 
shall  be  filed  with  the  Tax  and  License  Collector.  For  the  purposes  of 
this  ordinance  every  person  who  has  charge  of  or  directs  the  opera- 
tions of  any  outfit  of  apparatus  or  implements  used  in  the  business  of 
spraying  or  fumigating  trees,  plans,  vines  or  orchards,  or  who  applies 
thereto  or  prepares,  the  chemicals  used  in  such  fumigation,  whether 
on  his  own  account  or  as  agent  of  another,  shall  be  deemed  to  be  en- 
gaged in  such  business,  and  shall  be  required  to  have  a  license  there- 
for. 

Sec.  1%.  The  Board  of  Park,  Police  and  Fire  Commissioners  is 
hereby  authorized  and  required  to  make  such  rules  consistent  with  the 
requirements  of  the  county  board  of  horticultural  commissioners  as 
may  be  necessary  for  the  proper  regulation  of  the  methods  and  ma- 
terials employed  in  and  the  manner  of  engaging  in,  carrying  on  or 

100 


conducting  said  business  of  spraying  or  fumigating,  and  to  revoke  any 
such  permit  and  cause  any  such  license  to  be  withdrawn  upon  refusal 
or  neglect  to  comply  with  such  rules.  The  City  Tax  and  License  Col- 
lector shall  furnish  to  each  person  now  holding  and  hereafter  granted 
such  permit  and  license  certificate  a  suitable  badge,  numbered  and 
bearing  the  words  "Spraying  and  Fumigating,  Pasadena,  Cal.,  Em- 
ployer's License,"  and  the  words  in  brackets  "Not  a  City  Employee," 
which  badge  shall  be  conspicuously  worn  by  such  person  while  en- 
gaged in  soliciting  for  and  performing  the  said  business  of  spraying 
or  fumigating.  Said  badge  shall  be  returned  to  the  officer  furnishing 
the  same  in  case  such  permit  and  license  are  revoked  as  herein  pro- 
vided. The  City  Tax  and  License  Collector  shall  furnish  to  each  em- 
ploye of  each  person  now  holding  or  hereafter  granted  such  permit  and 
license  a  suitable  badge,  numbered,  and  bearing  the  words  "Spraying 
and  Fumigating,  Pasadena,  Cal.,  Licensee's  Employee,"  and  the  words 
in  brackets  "Not  a  City  Employee,"  which  badge  shall  be  worn  as

any  holder  of  such  permit,  license,  certificate  or  badge,  an  employee 
or  agent  of  said  Board  or  city, 

(Section  IVz.  Amendment:  approved  February  20,  1912,  by  Ordinance 
No.  1199.) 

Sec.  2.  Any  person  violating  any  provision  of  this  ordinance  shall 
be  deemed  guilty  of  a  misdemeanor,  and  upon  conviction  thereof,  shall 
be  punished  by  a  fine  in  a  sum  not  exceeding  one  hundred  ($100)  dol- 
lars, or  by  imprisonment  in  the  City  Jail  for  a  term  not  exceeding

A   "standard   roadbed"   is   a   roadbed   constructed   as   hereinafter 

101 


provided  of  (a)  hydraulic  cement  concrete,   (b)   stone  ballast,  or   (c) 
asphalt  concrete. 

(a)  Hydraulic   Cement   Concrete   Construction.     When  hydraulic 
cement  concrete  construction  is  used,  the  hydraulic  cement  concrete 
shall  be  composed  by  volume  of  one  (1)  part  cement,  three  (3)  parts 
sand,  and  six  (6)  parts  of  broken  stone,  and  the  concrete  shall  extend 
at  least  six  (6)  inches  below  the  bottom  of  the  ties,  and  the  space  be- 
tween and  around  the  ties  shall  be  filled  in  with  concrete  at  least  level 
with  the  top  of  the  ties.     When  the  street  in  which  said  construction 
is  made  is  ordered  paved  with  a  pavement  having  a  cement  concrete 
base,  or  is  already  paved  with  sucn  a  pavement,  then  said  construction 
shall  be  to  a  level  with  the  sub-grade  of  the  wearing  surface  of  said 
pavement  so  laid  or  ordered  laid.    In  other  cases  it  shall  be  to  a  level 
with  the  sub-grade  of  the  pavement  ordered  to  be  laid,  or  already 
laid.    The  concrete  need  not  extend  more  than  three  (3)  inches  beyond 
the  end  of  the  ties,  and  in  no  case  more  than  two  (2)  feet  beyond  the 
outer  rails  of  the  track. 

(b)  Stone    Ballast    Construction.     When   stone   ballast   construc- 
tion is  used,  the  ballast  shall  be  composed  of  hard  durable  stone  or  of 
screened  gravel,  free  from  dust  and  dirt,  of  such  sizes  and  so  graded 
as  to  permit  a  thorough  grouting.    The  ballast  shall  be  at  least  six  (6) 
inches  thick  below  the  bottom  of  the  ties,  and  the  space  between  and

top  of  the  ties,  but  said  ballast  need  not  extend  more  than  three  (3) 
inches  beyond  the  end  of  the  ties,  and  in  no  case  more  than  two  (2) 
feet  beyond  the  outer  rails  of  the  railway  tracks.     The  entire  thick- 
ness of  the  ballast  shall  be  thoroughly  grouted  with  hydraulic  cement 
mortar  composed  by  colume  of  not  less  than  one   (1)  part  cement  to 
three  (3)  parts  of  sand.     When  the  street  in  which  said  construction 
is  made  is  ordered  paved  with  a  pavement  having  a  cement  concrete 
base,  or  is  already  paved  with  such  a  pavement,  then  said  construction 
shall  be  to  a  level  with  the  sub-grade  of  the  wearing  surface  of  said 
pavement  so  laid  or  ordered  to  be  laid.    In  other  cases  it  shall  be  to  a 
level  with  the  sub-grade  of  the  pavement  so  laid  or  ordered  to  be  laid. 

(c)  Asphalt  Concrete  Construction.     When  asphalt  concrete  con- 
struction is  used   the  asphalt  concrete  shall  be  composed  of  from  six 
(6)  to  nine  (9)  per  cent,  of  refined  asphalt  with  a  penetration  of  from 
eighty  (80)  to  one  hundred   (100)   degrees  District  of  Columbia  Stan- 
dard, or  from  thirty  (30)  to  forty  (40)  per  cent,  of  sand,  and  of  from 
fifty  (50)  to  sixty  (60)  per  cent,  of  crushed  rock  graded  in  sizes  from 
one-quarter   (^4)   inch  minimum  to  three   (3)   inches  maximum.     The 
asphalt  concrete  shall  be  thoroughly  mixed  in  suitable  mixers  and  shall 
be  heated  to  a  temperature  of  from  two  hundred  and  fifty   (250)   to 
three  hundred   (300)   degrees  before  being  placed.     The  asphalt  con- 
crete shall  extend  at  least  eight  (8)   inches  below  the  bottom  of  the 
ties.    When  the  street  in  which  said  construction  is  made  is  ordered 
paved  with  a  pavement  having  a  cement  concrete  base,  or  is  already 
paved  with  such  a  pavement,  then  said  construction  shall  be  to  a  level 
with  the  sub-grade  of  the  wearing  surface  of  said  pavement  so  laid  or 
ordered  to  be  laid.    In  other  cases  it  shall  be  to  a  level  with  the  sub- 
grade  of  the  pavements  so  laid  or  ordered  to  be  laid.     The  asphalt 
concrete  need  not  extend  more  than  three  (3)  inches  beyond  the  end 
of  the  ties  and  in  no  case  more  than  two  (2)  feet  beyond  the  outer  rails 
of  the  track. 

A  "standard  pavement"  is  a  pavement  in  the  space  occupied  by 
railway  tracks  laid  under  the  same  specifications  and  superintendence 
(except  so  far  as  the  thickness  of  the  same  or  any  part  thereof  is 
modified  by  the  construction  of  the  roadbed)  as  the  pavement  in  the 
street  continguous  thereto. 

A  "standard  rail"  is  a  grooved  girder  rail  not  less  than  seven  inches 
in  height  and  of  such  pattern,  weight  and  dimension  as  shall  be  ap- 
proved by  the  City  Council  of  the  City  of  Pasadena. 

Sec.  2.  It  shall  be  unlawful  for  any  person,  firm  or  corporation

thereon  shall  construct  a  standard  roadbed  for  such  tracks. 

Sec  4.  That  whenever  the  City  Council  shall  order  any  street 
upon  or  across  which  there  are  any  railway  tracks  to  be  paved  or 
other  wise  improved,  any  person,  firm  or  corporation  having  railway 
tracks  thereon  shall  improve  the  space  occupied  by  such  tracks  with  a 
standard  pavement;  provided,  however,  that  upon  all  streets  which 
may  be  hereafter  paved  with  asphalt,  vitrified  brick,  stone  blocks,  oil 
madadam  or  other  permanent  pavement,  that  portion  of  the  street  for 
a  space  of  not  less  than  six  and  one-half  (G1/^)  inches  on  the  gauge  side 
and  not  less  than  two  and  one-quarter  (2^4)  inches  on  the  outer  side 
of  each  rail  of  such  tracks  and  contiguous  thereto,  may  be  paved  with 
stone  blocks  or  vitrified  paving  blocks,  with  the  consent  of  the  City 
Council,  all  of  said  blocks  to  be  laid  evenly  and  uniformly  on  edge  in  a 
cement  mortar  upon  a  standard  roadbed,  and  provided  further,  that 
upon  all  streets  which  may  be  hereafter  paved  with  asphalt  or  similar 
pavement,  the  specifications  for  which  require  a  binder  course,  such 
binder  course  need  not  be  constructed  between  the  rails  or  between 
the  tracks,  if  there  be  more  than  one  track. 

Sec.  5.  That  whenever  the  City  Council  shall,  by  ordinance  or 
resolution,  have  ordered  any  street  to  be  paved  or  otherwise  improved, 
upon  or  across  which  any  railway  tracks  exist,  the  said  City  Council

manner  hereinbefore  provided,  and  complete  the  paving  of  the  space 
occupied  by  the  railway  tracks  with  standard  pavement  as  herein  pro-

paved  or  improved,  said  City  Council  shall  by  order  duly  entered  upon 
its  minutes  fix  a  time  within  which  any  person,  firm  or  corporation 
shall  complete  the  paving  of  the  space  occupied  by  the  railway  tracks 
with  standard  pavement  as  herein  provided.  The  City  Clerk  shall 
cause  a  copy  of  such  order  to  be  forthwith  served  upon  such  person,

ing the  same  personally  to  the  general  manager,  or  superintendent,  or 
local  agent  in  the  City  of  Pasadena,  of  such  person,  firm  or  corpora-

the  person  making  the  same  and  the  record  thereof  shall  be  kept  in 
the  office  of  the  City  Clerk.  Nothing  herein  contained  shall  be  con- 
strued to  prevent  the  City  Council  from  extenidng  the  time  so  fixed, 
for  good  cause,  and  prior  to  the  expiration  thereof,  upon  an  appMcation 
in  writing  made  by  such  person,  firm  or  corporation.  Upon  the  service 
of  such  copy  of  such  order,  as  aforesaid,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  such 
person,  firm  or  corporaiton  to  prosecute  the  work  specified  in  such 
order  with  due  diligence  to  completion,  within  the  time  so  fixed,  or 
within  such  time  as  so  extended  by  said  City  Council. 

Sec.  6.  That  whenever  any  person,  firm  or  corporation  having 
any  railway  tracks  upon  or  across  any  street  that  has  already  been 
paved  with  asphalt,  vitrified  brick,  stone  blocks,  oil  macadam  or  other 
permanent  pavement,  shall  desire  to  replace  the  rails  of  such  tracks 
or  ties  or  both,  with  new  rails  or  ties  or  both,  such  person,  firm  or  cor- 
poration shall,  before  commencing  such  work,  give  notice  in  writing 
to  the  Superintendent  of  Streets  of  his  or  its  intention  so  to  do.  There- 
upon said  Superintendent  ot  Streets  shall  cause  an  inspection  to  be 
made  of  the  portion  of  such  street  where  it  is  so  proposed  to  do  such 
work  of  replacement,  and  in  writing  advise  the  City  Council  of  the 
condition  thereof.  If  the  pavement  or  the  roadbed  where  it  is  pro- 
posed to  do  such  work,  has  not  been  constructed  in  conformity  with 
the  provisions  hereof,  the  City  Council  shall  by  order  duly  entered  upon 
its  minutes  require  said  person,  firm  or  corporation  to  reconstrust  such 

103 


roadbed  and  to  repave  the  said  portion  of  such  street  to  conform  with 
the  requirements  of  this  ordinance.  The  City  Council  shall,  in  such 
order,  fix  the  time  within  which  the  work  therein  described  shall  be 
done  and  shall  cause  a  copy  of  such  order  to  be  served  upon  such  per- 
son, firm  or  corporation.  Such  service  shall  be  made,  proved,  and  a 
record  thereof  kept,  in  the  same  manner  as  herein  provided  for  the

order  may  be  extended  by  the  City  Council  for  good  cause,  upon  appli- 
cation in  writing  made  by  such  person,  firm  or  corporation,  prior  to  the 
expiration  of  such  time.  If  said  roadbed,  where  it  is  proposed  to  lay 
such  new  rails  or  ties,  has  been  ballasted  with  broken  stone  or 
screened  gravel,  nothing  herein  contained  shall  be  construed  to  pre- 
vent the  City  Council  in  its  discretion,  from  not  requiring  such  road- 
bed to  be  reconstructed;  and  provided  further,  that  if  the  distance  for 
which  such  person,  firm  or  corporation,  shall  desire  to  replace  such 
rails  or  ties  or  both,  shall  be  less  than  six  hundred  (600)  feet,  the  City 
Council  may,  in  its  discretion,  grant  a  special  permit  to  use  such  pav- 
ing materials  in  the  work  of  replacing  such  rails  or  ties,  or  both,  as  it 
may  prescribe,  and  in  such  permit  it  shall  fix  the  time  for  the  comple- 
tion of  said  work;  and  if  such  permit  is  granted,  all  work  of  paving  and 
repairing  thereunder  shall  be  done  under  the  instruction  and  to  the 
satisfaction  of  the  Superintendent  of  Streets. 

Any  person,  firm  or  corporation  served  with  a  copy  of  said  order,  or 
securing  a  special  permit  as  herein  provided,  is  hereby  required  to 
prosecute  the  work  specified  therein  diligently  to  completion  within 
the  time  fixed  and  stated  therein,  or  within  such  time  as  the  same  may 
be  extended,  as  aforesaid. 

Sec.  7.  Before  making  any  order  or  determination  fixing  the  time 
for  the  completion  of  any  work,  as  provided  in  Section  5  hereof,  or  be- 
fore making  any  order  or  determination  as  provided  in  Section  6  here- 
of, the  City  Council  shall  cause  at  least  five  (5)  days  notice  to  be  given 
to  the  person,  firm  or  corporation  who  or  which  would  be  affected  by 
any  such  order  or  determination,  of  the  date  of  the  meeting  ac  which 
it  is  proposed  to  make  the  same.  Such  notice  shall  be  in  writing  and 
shall  be  served  by  delivering  the  same  personally  to  the  general  man- 
ager, or  superintendent,  or  local  agent,  in  the  City  of  Pasadena,  of  the 
person,  firm  or  corporation  to  be  affected  by  such  proposed  order  or 
determination.  Proof  of  the  service  of  such  notice  shall  be  made  by 
affidavit  of  the  person  making  the  same,  and  the  record  thereof  shall 
be  kept  in  the  office  of  the  City  Clerk.  The  provisions  of  this  section

shall  not  impair  the  validity  or  effect  of  any  order  or  determination 
made  hereunder. 

Sec.  8.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  Superintendent  of  Streets  to 
inspect  frequently  and  carefully  all  railway  tracks  in  streets  of  the

tracks  to  be  in  bad  condition  or  out  of  repair,  to  advise  the  City  Coun- 
cil thereof  in  writing,  specifying  in  reasonable  detail  the  location  of 
such  tracks  and  the  particulars  in  which  the  space  occupied  thereby  is 
in  bad  condition  or  out  of  repair.

hereafter  be  paved  with  asphalt,  vitrified  brick,  stone  blocks,  oil  ma- 
cadam or  other  permanent  pavement,  or  in  replacing  the  rails  of  any 
such  track  or  tracks  that  shall  be  taken  up  and  replaced  with  new 
rails,  for  a  distance  of  six  hundred  (600)  feet  or  over.  Provided,  how- 
ever, that  nothing  herein  contained  shall  be  construed  to  require  the 
use  of  such  grooved  girder  rails  on  curves  where  guard  rails  are  used 
or  on  track  crossings,  or  on  streets  not  paved  with  asphalt,  vitrified 
brick,  stone  blocks,  oil  macadam  or  other  permanent  pavement.  Pro-

ORDINANCE  NO.  1155. 


An  Ordinance  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  Fixing,  and  Providing  for  the 
Payment  of,  Rentals  for  the  Occupation  of  Space  in  Underground 
Conduits  Constructed  Under  the  Provisions  of  the  Pasadena  Im- 
provement Ordinance,  and  Regulating  the  Use,  Occupation,  Repair 
and  Upkeep  of  Such  Conduits. 


The  Mayor  and  City  Council  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  do  ordain 
as  forows: 

Section  1.  There  is  hereby  established  an  electrical"  board  which 
shall  have  charge  of  the  use,  occupation,  repair  and  upkeep  of  conduits 
constructed  under  the  provisions  of  the  Pasadena  Improvement  Ordi- 
nance, and  which,  subject  to  the  provisions  hereof  and  of  the  City 
Charter,  shall  have  authority  to  employ  labor,  purchase  material  and 
incur  expenses  necessary  therefor.  Said  Board  shall  assign  space  in 
said  conduits  to  persons,  firms  or  corporations  desiring  to  use  the 
same.  It  shall  perform  the  duties  and  exercise  the  powers  herein 

106 


provided.  The  Board  shall  consist  of  the  Manager  of  the  Municipal 
Electric  Lighting  Works  Department,  the  City  Engineer  and  the  City 
Electrician.  Its  office  shall  be  in  Room  12  in  the  City  Hall. 

Sec.  2.  There  is  hereby  created  and  established  a  department  of 
the  general  fund  which  shall  be  known  as  the  Conduit  Fund  Depart- 
ment,, and  into  which  shall  be  paid  all  receipts  by  way  of  rentals  or 
otherwise  on  account  of  the  use  of  conduits  constructed  under  the 
provisions  of  the  Pasadena  Improvement  Ordinance,  and  from  which 
shall  be  made  all  disbursements  and  expenditures  for  the  maintenance, 
repair  and  upkeep  of  the  same. 

See.  3.  Every  person,  firm  or  corporation  occupying  space  in  con- 
duits constructed  under  the  provisions  of  the  Pasadena  Improvement 
Ordinance  shall  pay  to  the  City  of  Pasadena  a  rental  price  for  space 
so  used  at  the  rate  of  Four  (4)  Cents  per  duct  foot  per  annum.  Rental 
payments  shall  be  made  to  the  City  Treasurer.  Rentals  shall  be  com- 
puted for  the  fiscal  year,  or  portion  thereof,  for  which  space  is  occu- 
pied. Such  rentals  shall  be  payable  in  advance  on  or  before  the  1st 
day  of  July  for  the  ensuing  fiscal  year.  When  space  in  such  conduits 
is  first  occupied  after  the  commencement  of  the  fiscal  year  and  before 
its  close,  the  rental  for  such  space  shall  be  computed  according  to  the 
time  which  would  elapse  from  the  date  of  the  commencement  of  such 
occupancy  to  the  close  of  the  fiscal  year.  The  payment  therefor  shall 
be  made  on  or  before  said  date  of  occupancy. 

For  space  in  such  conduit  occupied  exclusively  by  wires,  electrical 
conductors  and  appliances  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  used  for  the  trans- 
mission of  electricity  for  commercial  purposes,  there  shall  be  trans- 
ferred from  the  appropriate  fund  or  funds  to  the  Conduit  Fund  Depart- 
ment an  amount  equivalent  to  the  rental  hereinbefore  established  for 
the  use  of  such  space.  Such  transfer  need  not  be  made  in  advance 
but  may  be  made  at  any  time  prior  to  the  close  of  the  fiscal  year,  or 
portion  thereof,  for  which  such  space  is  used.  No  transfer,  payment 
or  allowance  shall  be  made  for  space  occupied  by  wires,  electrical  con- 
ductors and  appliances,  owned  and  used  by  the  city  for  the  purpose  of 
lighting  the  street  in  which,  or  for  the  service  of  which,  such  conduits 
are  constructed. 

It  is  expressly  provided,  however,  that  any  person,  firm  or  corpora- 
tion may  give  a  bond  with  sufficient  sureties,  approved  by  the  Mayor, 
to  the  City  of  Pasadena  in  a  sum  sufficient  to  cover  the  rental  for  space 
occupied  by  him  or  it  in  such  conduit  for  the  fiscal  year,  or  portion 
thereof,  in  which  event  the  person,  firm  or  corporation  giving  such 
bond  shall  not  be  required  to  pay  rental  in  advance  but  may  pay  such 
rental  at  any  time  prior  to  the  close  of  such  fiscal  year. 

Changes  in  the  rental  rate  herein  fixed  shall  be  made  only  by 
ordinance  adopted  at  least  three  (3)  months  prior  to  the  commence- 
ment of  the  fiscal  year  for  which  such  changed  rate  shall  apply;  pro- 
vided, however,  that  the  rate  herein  fixed  shall  continue  until  the 
fiscal  year  1913-1914. 

Sec  4.  Every  person,  firm  or  corporation,  who  or  which,  by  the 
provisions  of  Section  61  of  the  Pasadena  Improvement  Ordinance  is 
required  to  occupy  with  his  or  its  wires,  electrical  conductors  and 
appliances,  space  in  the  conduits  constructed  under  the  provisions  of 
said  ordinance,  shall  within  a  reasonable  time  before  the  expiration 
of  the  period  within  which  he  or  it  is  required  by  the  terms  of  said 
section  to  occupy  said  conduits,  file  with  the  E^ctrical  Board  a  written 
statement  showing  the  number  of  duct  feet  which  it  is  desired  to  oc- 
cupy, the  relative  location  of  the  ducts  preferred,  the  date  at  which 
he  or  it  desires  to  install  wires,  electrical  conductors  and  appliances 
in  said  conduits,  and  the  estimated  time  necessary  to  effect  such  in- 
stallation. 

The  Electrical  Board  shall  have  power  to,  and  shall  assign  space 
in,  said  conduits  to  any  person,  firm  or  corporation  filing  such  state- 
ments, and  who  or  which,  under  the  provisions  of  Part  4  of  the  Pasa- 
dena Improvement  Ordinance,  is  authorized  and  required  to  occupy 
space  in  said  conduits,  having  a  reasonable  regard  to  the  needs  and 
requirements  of  other  persons,  firms  and  corporations  desiring  or  need- 
ing space  therein.  Said  Board  shall  also  have  power  to  and  shall  fix 
the  time  at  which  the  wires,  electrical  conductors  and  appliances  of 
any  such  person,  firm  or  corporation  shall  be  installed. 

107 


The  provisions  hereof,  so  far  as  applicable,  shall  govern  in  the 
case  of  any  person,  firm  or  corporation  already  occupying  space  in 
such  conduits  with  his  or  its  wires,  electrical  conductors  and  appli- 
ances, desiring  to  occupy  additional  space  therein. 

The  Electrical  Board  may  require  information  additional  to  that 
hereinbefore  specified,  to  be  contained  in  the  statement  herein  required 
to  be  made 

Sec.  5.  No  person,  firm  or  corporation  shall  occupy  space  in  any 
conduit  constructed  under  the  provisions  of  the  Pasadena  Improvement 
Ordinance  without  either  having  first  paid  the  rental  price  therefor  as 
herein  fixed  in  advance,  or  having  given  the  bond  as  herein  provided. 
No  person,  firm  or  corporation  shall  continue  in  the  occupation  of  space 
in  such  conduits  after  default  made  in  the  payment  of  the  rental  price 
thereof  as  herein  required. 

Sec.  6.  It  shall  be  unlawful  for  any  person  to  enter  the  manholes 
of  any  conduits  constructed  under  the  provisions  of  the  Pasadena  Im- 
provement Ordinance,  or  to  tamper  with  any  such  conduits  or  cables 
or  wires  therein  or  appurtenances  thereto,  without  first  securing  a  per- 
mit therefor  from  the  Electrical  Board  as  in  this  ordinance  provided. 
This  section,  however,  shall  not  be  construed  to  apply  to  authorized 
employes  or  agents  of  the  city  engaged  in  the  maintenance,  repair,  or 
upkeep  of  such  conduits  or  appurtenances  thereto,  nor  shall  it  apply  to 
any  person,  firm  or  corporation  occupying  space  in  such  conduits,  or 
to  employees  thereof,  while  engaged  in  the  repair  of  such  conduits, 
or  cables  or  wires  therein,  in  cases  of  emergency,  where  it  is  imprac- 
ticable to  first  secure  a  permit  as  herein  in  this  ordinance  provided. 

Sec.  7.  Occupants  of  space  in  conduits  desiring  access  to  man- 
holes will  be  issued  a  permit  upon  application  to  the  Electrical  Board. 
The  Electrical  Board  shall  provide  blank  forms  of  application  for  such 
permits.  The  permits  shall  state  the  number  of  employes  of  the 
occupant  who  shall  be  permitted  in  any  manhole  at  the  same  time,  and 
as  nearly  as  practicable  shall  state  the  time  at  which  access  to  such 
manhole  may  be  had.  Such  permit  need  not  be  signed  by  all  the  mem- 
bers of  said  Board,  but  said  Board  may  delegate  power  to  issue  the 
same  in  its  name.  When  in  cases  of  emergency  as  provided  in  Section 
6  hereof  access  is  had  to  manholes  without  a  permit,  a  statement  on 
forms  provided  by  the  Electrical  Board  shall  be  made  and  filed  with 
said  Board  showing  the  time  at  which  and  purpose  for  which  such 
access  was  had. 

Sec.  8.  On  or  before  the  first  day  of  August  of  each  year,  the  Elec- 
trical Board  shall  make  and  file  with  the  City  Council  a  report  show- 
ing all  receipts  and  expenditures  for  the  preceding  fiscal  year  on  ac- 
count of  conduits  constructed  under  the  provisions  of  the  Pasadena 
Improvement  Ordinance. 

Sec.  9.  The  following  rules  and  regulations  are  hereby  adopted 
as  the  rules  and  regulations  governing  the  use,  occupation  and  repair 
of  conduits,  manholes,  appurtenances,  cab^s,  electrical  appliances  and 
conductors,  except  as  otherwise  in  this  ordinance  specifically  provided. 

It  shall  be  unlawful  for  any  person,  firm  or  corporation,  as  princi- 
pal, agent,  officer  or  employee,  for  himself  or  itself,  or  for  another  per- 
son, firm  or  corporation,  to  neglect  or  fail  to  comply  with  and  conform 
to  said  Rules  and  Regulations. 

RULES  AND  REGULATIONS. 

1.  REPAIRS:  The  occupant  of  space  in  the  conduits  shall  repair 
his  or  its  wires,  electrical  conductors  and  appliances  when  ordered  to 
do  so  by  the  Electrical  Board  upon  the  conditions  of  any  cable  having 
been  found  such  as  to  be  unsatisfactory  for  the  purpose  for  which  in- 
tended. In  each  instance  a  time  limit  will  be  set,  within  which  time 
limit  the  repairs  must  be  satisfactorily  made,  otherwise  the  use  of  the 
wire  or  other  appliance  will  be  ordered  discontinued. 

While  the  employees  of  any  occupant  are  at  work  in  the  manhole, 
they  shall  be  careful  not  to  touch  or  disturb  any  wire,  electrical  con- 
ductor or  appliance  except  those  upon  which  permits  have  been  given 
for  repairs  or  work.  Should  it  become  necessary  for  any  reason  to 
disturb  any  other  appliances  than  those  specifically  mentioned  in  the 
permit,  said  employees  shall  notify  some  member  of  the  Electrical 

108 


Board.  No  such  appliances  belonging  to  any  other  occupant  shall  be 
touched  or  disturbed  until  the  person,  firm  or  corporation  owning  the 
same  shall  have  been  notified.  Except  in  cases  of  emergency,  such 
communications  shall  be  in  writing.  Any  employee  who  shall  show  a 
disposition  to  disregard  this  regulation  shall  be,  in  the  discretion  of  the 
Electrical  Board,  prohibited  access  into  any  manhole,  or  upon  any  part 
of  such  conduits. 

2.  WIRES  AND  APPLIANCES.    All  wires  shall  be  properly  tagged 
with  the  name  of  the  owner,  the  number  of  amperes,  the  character  of 
current  and  the  potential  at  which  it  is  operated. 

Should,  for  any  reason,  a  dead  end  of  wire  be  left  in  manhole,  it 
shall  not  be  left  with  the  bare  end  of  conductor  exposed,  but  with  lead 
covered  cables  of  all  classes,  the  sheath  shall  be  hermetically  sealed 
at  the  end,  either  by  soldered  joint,  or  in  a  proper  terminal. 

The  location  of  wires  on  racks  in  the  manholes  shall  conform  to 
the  system  as  established  by  the  Electrical  Board,  and  no  deviation 
will  be  a'lowed  except  by  special  permission. 

All  wires,  for  whatever  service  intended,  shall  be  fitted  with  the 
proper  protective  devices  where  they  connect  to  overhead  lines  or 
leave  the  conduits. 

For  continuous  service,  cables  should  be  selected  with  a  carrying 
capacity  not  greater  than  1,500  amperes  per  square  inch  for  rubber 
insulated  cables.  In  special  instances  these  figures  are  subject  to 
change,  by  reason  of  any  improved  form  of  insulation  which  may  in  the 
future  be  adopted. 

3.  ELECTROLYSIS  PREVENTION:     The  lead  sheath  of  all  wires 
and  cables  must  be  grounded  in  each  section. 

4.  TESTS:      The  Electrical  Board,   through   its  proper   and   ac- 
credited representatives,  shall  at  all  times  have  the  right  of  entrance 
into  the  power  station  or  other  point  of  distribution  belonging  to  the 
occupant  of  space  in  conduit  for  the  sole  purpose  of  testing.     Notice 
shall  be  given  to  such  occupant  of  the  time  at  which  it  is  desired  to 
make  such  test. 

5.  CLASSIFICATION  OF  CONDUCTORS:     Conductors  for  which 
these  conduits  are  constructed  will  be  considered  as  being  divided  into 
five  classes: 

Class  I.  Conductors  carrying  a  very  low  potential  such  as  tele- 
phone, telegraph  and  for  similar  signaling  purposes. 

Class  II.  Conductors  carrying  a  current  up  to  220  volts,  including 
the  commercial  110  volt  3-wire  system  of  distributing  mains. 

Class  III.  Conductors  operating  under  a  potential  of  between  220 
and  2300  volts. 

Class  IV.  Conductors  operating  under  a  potential  between  2300 
volts  and  6600  volts. 

Class  V.  Conductors  operating  under  a  greater  potential  than  6600 
volts. 

6.  LIMITING  INSULATION  RESISTANCES: 

Class  I.  The  occupant  will  find  immediate  repairs  necessary  should 
the  insulation  resistance  of  cables  of  this  class  fall  below  the  point 
where  efficient  service  can  be  performed  through  the  conductors. 
Should  such  insulation  resistance  fall  below  one  megohm  per  mile,  the 
cable  will  be  considered  defective,  and  will  be  treated  as  is  provided 
in  these  Rules  and  Regulations  for  defective  cables. 

The  insulation  of  all  cables  shall  be  suitable  for  voltage  at  which 
they  are  to  operate,  and  shall  conform  to  the  specifications  of  the 
American  Standard  General  Cable  Specifications,  as  relating  to  paper 
insulated  lead  covered  cables  for  telephone, ^  telegraph,  electric  light, 
railway  and  power  service.  All  cable  having*  other  than  paper  insula- 
tion shall  comply  with  the  voltage  test  as  provided  for  by  the  Ameri- 
can Standard  General  Cable  Specifications  for  testing  paper  insulated 

109 


lead  covered  cables.     The  voltage  rating  shall  be  determined  from  the 
following  rating  table:

7.  PRECAUTIONS.    Before  allowing  any  of  his  or  its  employees 
to  enter  a  manhole,  the  occupant  shall  first  make  sure  that  there  is  no 
danger  due  to  the  presence  of  gas  in  such  manhole.    Provision  must  be 
made  for  a  sufficient  number  of  hand  or  power  blowers  when  needed

ORDINANCE  NO.  1178. 


An  Ordinance  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  Regulating  the  Making  of  Street 
Improvements  Under  Private  Contract. 


The  Mayor  and  City  Council  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  do  ordain  as 
follows : 

Section  1.  It  shall  be  unlawful  any  person,  as  principal,  agent  or 
contractor,  to  make  any  improvement  in  any  of  the  streets  of  the  City 
of  Pasadena,  by  or  under  private  contract,  unless  permission  from  the 
City  Council  therefor  is  first  secured  and  unless  the  deposit  herein 
provided  for  is  made.  The  term  "improvement,"  as  herein  used,  shall 

114 


be  deemed,  and  is  hereby  declared,  to  include  the  grading  or  regrading 
the  macadamizing  or  remacadamizing,  the  graveling  or  regraveling,  the 
oiling  or  reoiling  of  any  street,  or  the  construction  or  reconstruction 
in  any  street  of  sewers,  sidewalks,  crosswalks,  curbs  or  gutters. 

Sec.  2.  Any  permission  granted  by  the  City  Council  for  the  mak- 
ing of  any  such  improvement,  by  or  under  private  contract,  ghall  be 
deemed  to  have  been  made  subject  to  the  terms  of  this  ordinance.  Be- 
fore any  such  permission  shall  become  effective  for  any  purpose,  there 
shall  be  deposited  with  the  Superintendent  of  Streets  such  sum  as  he 
may  estimate  to  be  necessary  to  cover  the  cost  of  inspection  and  su- 
pervision by  the  city  of  said  improvement.  Said  improvement  shall  be 
made  under  the  direction,  and  to  the  satisfaction,  of  the  Superintendent 
of  Streets.  Upon  its  acceptance  by  him,  he  shall  deduct  from  the  de- 
posit made,  as  herein  required,  the  cost  to  the  city  of  inspection  and 
supervision  thereof,  and  the  remainder  of  such  deposit,  if  there  be  any, 
shall  be  returned  to  the  person  making  the  same  upon  demands  ap- 
proved, audited  and  allowed,  as  in  the  case  of  other  demands  against 
the  city.  In  the  event  that  the  estimated  amount  of  the  cost  of  inspec- 
tion and  supervision  of  said  improvement  shall  prove  to  be  insufficient, 
the  Superintendent  of  Streets  may  cause  the  work  of  making  such  im- 
provements to  be  stopped  until  such  additional  sum  is  deposited  as  will 
cover  said  cost,  in  which  case  it  shall  be  unlawful  to  continue  with  the 
same  until  such  additional  sum  is  deposited. 

The  Superintendent  of  Streets  shall  be  given  at  least  twenty-four 
(24)  hours'  notice  in  writing  of  the  time  of  commencement  of  the  work 
of  making  any  improvement,  permission  to  make  which  is  granted 
hereunder,  in  order  that  he  may  procure  and  assign  an  inspector  to  in- 
spect the  same;  and  it  shall  be  unlawful  for  any  person  as  principal, 
agent  or  contractor  to  commence  any  such  work,  until  after  twenty- 
four  (24)  hours'  notice  in  writing  has  been  given  to  the  Superintendent 
of  Streets,  stating  the  time  at  which  such  work  will  be  commenced. 

Sec.  3.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  Superintendent  of  Streets  to 
cause  such  improvements  made  by  or  under  private  contract  to  be  duly 
inspected  and  supervised  during  the  progress  of  the  work  thereupon 
and  to  cause  to  be  kept  a  just  and  true  account  of  the  cost  of  inspec- 
tion and  supervision  of  such  improvement;  and  otherwise  to  carry  out 
the  provisions  of  this  ordinance. 

Sec.  4.  Any  person,  as  principal,  agent  or  contractor,  who  shall 
violate  any  of  the  provisions  of  this  ordinance,  shall  be  deemed  guilty 
of  a  misdemeanor  and  upon  conviction  thereof  shall  be  punishable  by  a 
fine  of  not  to  exceed  one  hundred  ($100)  dollars,  or  by  imprisonment 
in  the  City  Jail  for  a  period  not  to  exceed  thirty  (30)  days,  or  by  both 
such  fine  and  imprisonment. 

Sec.  5.  The  City  Clerk  shall  certify  to  the  adoption  of  this  Ordi- 
nance and  cause  the  same  to  be  published  once  in  the  Pasadena  Daily 
News. 

I  hereby  certify  that  the  foregoing  Ordinance  was  adopted  by  the

hereinbefore  referred  to  may  be  omitted. 

15.  Plans.     Plans  shall  be  filed  with  this  department  promptly 
upon  completion  of  work,  that  the  same  may  be  inspected  before  work 
is  concealed.    Under  no  circumstances  shall  work  be  passed  which  can- 
not be  inspected.     No  inspection  of  completed  work  shall  be  made 
until  plans  have  been  filed  as  above  and  all  fees  have  been  paid.   Wire- 
men  in  making  out  plans  shall  specify  sizes  of  feeds  and  sub-feeds  and 
length  of  same  in  all  cases  of  more  than  four  (4)  circuits.    Whenever

be  placed  nearer  than  three   (3)  inches  to  any  electric  work  without 
first  notifying  the  City  Electrician  so  that  said  wires  may  be  properly 
inspected  and  protected.     In  such  cases  all  requirements  of  the  City 
Electrician  as  to  placing  of  the  wire  or  work,  or  as  to  the  insulation 
thereof,  shall  be  fully  complied  with. 

See.  16.  Temporary  Work.  Where  a  permit  to  install  work  of  a 
temporary  character,  for  a  time  to  be  specified  in  such  permit  not  in 
any  case  to  exceed  thirty  (30)  days,  shall  have  been  issued  by  the 
City  Electrician,  a  strict  compliance  with  the  foregoing  rules  for  per- 
manent work  will  not  be  exacted,  provided  the  character  of  the  work 
is  entirely  safe  for  the  period  designated  in  the  permit  and  the  same  is 
done  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  City  Electrician. 

Sec.  17.  Meter  Tests.  It  shall  be  unlawful  for  any  person,  firm  or 
corporation  to  install  or  maintain  any  electric  meter  or  other  device 
for  measuring  electrical  energy  for  purposes  other  than  for  lighting, 
unless  such  meter  or  other  device  shall  conform  to  the  requirements 
of  Section  2  of  Ordinance  No.  967  of  the  City  of  Pasadena.  Upon  ap- 
plication of  any  person,  firm  or  corporation,  who  or  which  would  be 
affected  by  the  use  of  any  meter  or  measuring  device  not  conforming 
to  such  requirements,  and  the  payment  to  the  City  Electrician  of  a 
fee  of  one  dollar  ($1),  the  City  Electrician  shall  examine  and  test 
such  meter  or  measuring  device  and  for  such  purpose  may  disconect 
and  remove  any  such  meter  or  measuring  device  from  place  where 
installed,  or  about  to  be  installed,  to  the  testing  place  selected  by 

125 


him,  and  shall  immediately  return  same  after  test,  if  found  correct. 
Where  practicable  the  meter  shall  be  tested  in  place,  and  the  con- 
sumer shall  not  be  deprived  of  current  in  case  meter  is  removed  as 
hereinbefore  provided. 

It  shall  be  unlawful  for  any  person,  firm  or  corporation  to  hinder, 
impede  or  interfere  with  the  City  Electrician  when  making  such  test. 
If,  upon  examination  and  test,  such  meter  or  measuring  device  shall 
be  found  to  run  more  than  two  (2)  per  cent,  plus  or  minus,  when 
recording  25,  50  or  100  per  cent,  of  the  electric  energy  which  its  is 
designed  to  record,  when  compared  with  a  standard  indicating  watt- 
meter with  the  formula,  frequency,  voltage,  current,  time  and  con- 
stants pertaining  to  the  particular  meter  or  measuring  device  under 
test,  the  City  Electrician  shall  seal  the  same,  and  it  shall  be  unlawful 
to  use  or  permit  to  be  used  such  meter  or  measuring  device  to  measure 
electrical  current  sold  for  purposes  other  than  lighting  in  the  City  of 
Pasadena,  until  such  meter  or  measuring  device  has  been  repaired  and 
upon  test  by  the  City  Electrician  found  correct,  and  a  fee  of  three 
dollars  ($3.00)  paid  by  the  person,  firm  or  corporation  so  selling  elec- 
tricity. Upon  the  payment  of  said  last  named  fee,  the  fee  of  one 
dollar  ($1.00)  originally  paid  by  the  applicant  as  aforesaid  shall  be 
returned  to  him  by  the  City  Electrician.  Each  day  during  or  upon 
which  any  such  meter  or  measuring  device  is  or  may  be  used  in  viola- 
tion of  this  ordinance,  shall  be  considered  a  separate  offense. 

Sec.  18.  Unlawful  to  Do  Work  Without  Obtaining  Permit,  Etc. 
It  shall  be  unlawful  for  any  person,  firm  or  corporation  as  principal,

will  not  be  dangerous  to  life  or  property,  the  City  Electrician  may  is- 
sue a  temporary  permit  which  shall  authorize  the  use  of  current 
through  the  same;  but  such  permit  shall  not  authorize  such  use  for  a

ness oi  furnishing,  or  selling,  electric  energy  for  power,  heating,  or 
purposes  other  than  lighting  in  the  City  of  Pasadena. 

Section  2.  For  the  purposes  of  this  Ordinance,  a  "meter"  is  de- 
fined to  be  an  instrument  or  appliance  for  measuring  quantity  of 
electric  energy,  so  adjusted  and  maintained  as  to  correctly  register, 
in  kilowatt  hours,  within  two  (2)  per  cent,  plus  or  minus,  the  amount 
of  electric  energy  measured  by  it,  when  compared  with,  and  tested 
by  a  standard  indicating  watt  meter,  with  the  proper  formula,  fre- 
quency, voltage,  current  time  and  constants  pertaining  to  the  particu- 
lar meter  under  test,  and  so  adjusted  and  maintained  as  to  correctly 
register,  in  kilowatt  hours,  the  amount  of  electric  energy  measured 
by  it  without  a  greater  error  than  two  (2)  per  cent.,  plus  or  minus, 
when  recording  ten  (10)  per  cent,  fifty  (50)  per  cent.,  and  one  hun- 
dred (100)  per  cent.,  of  the  electric  energy  which  it  is  designed  to 
record,  when  compared  with  a  standard  indicating  watt  meter,  and 
tested  as  herein  provided.  Whenever  a  meter  is  required  by  this 
Ordinance  it  shall  conform  to  the  definition  and  requirements  of  this 
section. 

Section  3.  The  City  Electrician  may  at  any  time  examine  and  test 
any  electric  meter  installed  or  about  to  be  installed  in  the  City  of 
Pasadena  for  measuring  electric  energy  for  power,  heating  or  purposes 
other  than  lighting,  and  for  such  purposes  may  disconnect  and  remove 
any  meter  from  any  place  where  installed  or  placed  to  the  testing 
place  selected  by  him.  It  shall  be  unlawful  for  any  person,  firm  or

the  premises  of  such  of  its  customers  a  separate  meter,  (except  as 
otherwise  in  this  section  provided),  for  the  purpose  of  measuring  and 
determining  the  amount  of  electric  energy  for  purposes  other  than 
lighting  by  it  furnished  to  such  customer.  It  shall  be  unlawful  for 
any  company  or  any  officer,  agent,  servant  or  employee  of  any  com- 
pany, to  sell  or  furnish  electric  energy  for  purposes  other  than  lighting 
to  any  consumer  or  person  in  the  City  of  Pasadena,  unless  such  energy 
be  measured  by  a  separate  meter  so  installed  and  maintained.  It  shall 
be  unlawful  for  any  company  or  any  officer,  agent,  servant  or  employee 
of  any  company,  directly  or  indirectly,  in  any  form  or  manner,  to 
charge,  demand,  collect  or  receive  payment  or  compensation  for  electric 
energy  furnished  for  purposes  other  than  lighting,  which  is  not  based 
upon  and  proportioned  to  the  amount  of  energy  actually  furnished, 
and  determined  and  measured  by  a  meter  installed  and  maintained 
as  herein  provided.  Nothing  in  this  section,  however,  shall  be  con- 

129 


strued  to  require  the  use  of  a  separate  meter  for  the  measuring  of  elec- 
tric energy  sold  or  furnished  for  power,  heating  or  purposes  other 
than  lighting,  when  such  energy  shall  be  measured  by  a  meter  installed, 
maintained  and  used  for  the  purpose  of  measuring  electric  energy  fur- 
nished for  lighting  purposes,  as  provided  for  in  Ordinance  No.  967 
of  the  City  of  Pasadena,  and  Ordinances  amendatory  thereto  now  or 
hereafter  in  force,  but  in  such  event  such  energy  so  sold  or  furnished 
for  power,  heating  or  purposes  other  than  lighting,  shall  be  deemed 
and  considered  as  electric  energy  furnished  for  lighting  purposes,  and 
the  same  and  the  furnishing  and  sale  thereof,  and  the  rates  therefor 
shall  be,  in  all  respects,  subject  to  the  conditions  and  provisions  of 
said  Ordinance  No.  967,  and  Ordinances  amendatory  thereto  now  or 
hereafter  in  force.

Section  7.  Any  company  desiring  to  establish  rates  for  electric 
energy  by  it  furnished  for  power,  heating  or  purposes  other  than 
lighting  in  the  City  of  Pasadena  less  than  the  rates  fixed  by  Section 
6  of  this  Ordinance  may  do  so,  subject  to  the  conditions  hereinafter 
contained,  by  filing  with  the  City  Clerk  of  the  City  of  Pasadena  and 
publishing  for  a  period  of  ten  (10)  days,  commencing  with  the  day  of 
said  filing,  in  a  newspaper  of  general  circulation  published  at  least  six 
(6)  days  a  week  in  said  city,  a  schedule  of  rates  it  desires  and  elects 
to  establish.  The  rates  thus  established  must  be  based  upon  and 
proportioned  to  the  amount  of  electric  energy  actually  furnished  as 
measured  and  registered  by  a  meter.  They  must  follow  and  conform 
to  the  classification  established  by  Section  5  of  this  Ordinance,  and  a 
single  rate  must  be  fixed  for  each  class  of  energy.  No  rate  shall  be 
higher  than  the  rate  fixed  in  Section  6  of  this  Ordinance  for  the  corre- 
sponding class  of  energy,  and  the  minimum  monthly  charge  in  said 
section  provided  shall  not  be  increased  or  decreased.  No  rate  for  any 
class  shall  be  higher  than  any  rate  fixed  or  established  for  a  class 
higher  in  the  same  alphabetical  scale,  the  "A"  class  in  each  classifica- 
tion being  deemed  to  be  the  highest  class  in  its  respective  scale.  The 
rates  stated  in  such  schedule  shall  become  effective  at  12  o'clock  noon 
of  September  1st,  1912,  if  filed  and  fully  published  on  or  before  that 
time,  and  if  filed  or  published  thereafter,  then  thirty  days  after  the 
filing  and  last  publication  thereof,  and  shall  thereupon  become  and 
be  the  lawful  rates,  and  the  only  lawful  rates,  which  such  company 
may  charge  or  collect  until  the  same  are  changed  as  in  this  section 
permitted  and  provided. 

The  rates  established  as  herein  provided,  may  be  changed  from 
time  to  time,  in  whole  or  in  part,  by  the  filing  and  publication  of  a 
new  schedule,  conforming  to  the  requirements  of  this  section,  provided, 
however,  that  no  rate  shall  be  increased  without  the  consent  of  the 
City  of  Pasadena  given  by  ordinance. 

No  company  shall  reduce  its  rates  by  filing  a  schedule  thereof  as 
in  this  section  provided,  unless  on  or  before  the  filing  of  said  schedule 
it  shall  file  with  the  City  Clerk,  on  forms  furnished  and  approved  by 
the  City  Council,  a  statement  showing  the  actual  value  of  its  entire 
property  devoted  to  public  use,  the  value  of  its  property  in  the  City 
of  Pasadena  devoted  to  such  public  use,  its  gross  receipts  for  its  entire 
system  during  the  preceding  year,  the  portion  of  said  gross  receipts 
received  from  its  system  in  the  City  of  Pasadena,  the  portion  of  said 
receipts  from  its  entire  system  received  for  its  lighting  business,  and 
the  portion  from  its  power  business,  the  portion  of  said  receipts  from 
its  system  in  the  City  of  Pasadena  received  from  its  lighting  business, 
and  the  portion  from  its  power  business,  its  operating  expenses  for  its 
entire  system  during  the  said  period,  and  its  operating  expenses  for 
the  portion  of  its  system  in  the  City  of  Pasadena,  and  such  other  in- 
formation bearing  upon  its  financial  condition  as  may  be  required 
by  the  forms  so  furnished  and  approved  by  the  City  Council.  The 
form  of  statement  on  file  in  the  office  of  the  City  Clerk  entitled  "Form 
of  Utility  Report  Required  by  Ordinance  No.  1242,"  is  hereby  approved. 
Said  form  may  be  changed  from  time  to  time  by  the  Council  on  motion. 
Accompanying  said  statement  shall  be  a  statement  of  the  estimated 
revenue  of  the  company  in  Pasadena,  for  the  year  following  the  date 
at  which  said  new  schedule  of  rates  becomes  effective  under  said  new 
schedule.  The  correctness  of  such  statement,  and  of  the  several  items 
thereof  must  be  verified  by  the  oath  of  its  Auditor,  (if  there  be  one), 
or  if  it  has  no  Auditor,  then  by  its  President  or  Secretary.  In  addi- 
tion to  said  financial  statement  there  must  also  be  filed  affidavits  by 
its  President  (if  there  be  one),  and  its  General  Manager,  or  if  it  has 
no  General  Manager,  then  by  the  person  having  general  charge  of  its 
business,  showing  that  said  reduction  is  not  made  solely  for  competitive 
purposes,  but  that  in  good  faith  said  company  expects  that  said  pro- 

131 


posed  lower  rates  will  produce  an  income  from  its  Pasadena  business 
which,  after  payment  of  all  proper  charges  for  operation,  maintenance, 
taxation,  and  depreciation,  and  taking  into  consideration  the  income 
to  be  received  on  account  of  its  lighting  business  will  bring  a  return 
on  the  value  of  its  property  devoted  to  public  use  in  said  City  of 
Pasadena  of  not  less  than  four  (4)  per  cent  per  annum. 

Section  8.  It  shall  be  unlawful  for  any  company  or  any  person, 
agent,  servant  or  employe  of  any  company,  to  make  or  file  any  state- 
ment or  affidavit  required  by  Section  7  hereof  which  is  untrue  in  any 
particular.

ploye of  such  company,  directly  or  indirectly,  by  the  use  of  false  or 
inaccurate  meters,  or  by  false  or  inaccurate  reading  of  meters,  or  by 
any  special  rebate,  drawback  or  other  device,  or  in  any  manner  or 
form,  to  charge,  demand,  collect  or  receive,  any  rate  or  rates,  or  pay- 
ment or  compensation  or  consideration,  for  electric  energy  furnished 
for  power,  heating  or  purposes  other  than  lighting  in  the  City  of  Pasa- 
dena, greater  or  less  than  or  different  from  the  rates  herein  fixed. 

It  shall  be  unlawful  for  any  company  which  has,  as  provided  by 
Section  7  hereof,  established  rates  different  from  those  fixed  by  Sec- 
tion 6  hereof,  or  for  any  officer,  agent,  collector  or  employe  of  such 
company,  directly  or  indirectly,  by  the  use  of  false  or  inaccurate 
meters,  or  by  false  or  inaccurate  reading  of  meters,  or  by  any  special 
rebate,  drawback  or  other  device,  or  in  any  manner  or  form,  to  charge, 
demand,  collect  or  receive  any  rate  or  rates,  or  payment  or  compensa- 
tion or  consideration  for  electric  energy  by  it  furnished  for  power,
